    C#,
    Via scripting, I can set a gameobject's name to "" or string.Empty or null, err, right?
    Is null allowed?
    How about tags?

    The name property of Gameobject has the NotNull attribute and setting it to null will result in it being automatically set to an empty string.

    The tag can be set to null, but will throw a NullReferenceException.
