Try the following (Alerts the tag name, and then the Real Name) :

I used $(a[0]).attr('name');

e.g.

$('.Item').click(function() {

        var a = $(this).parent();

        alert(a[0].nodeName.toLowerCase()); //Tag Name



        alert($(a[0]).attr('name')); //Attribute (real) name

        //OR

        alert(a.attr('name')); //Attribute (real) name

    });
