She doesn't have one...it's used as a device to show that she's his property.

Well having reading the book and watching the movie just a few weeks ago, Curley's wife never did have a name. You should prove your teacher wrong and get some bonus points.

She doesn't have a name because she is Curley's wife. She is the only proper woman character in the novel and she is looked down on by the men. She is thought of as a whore because she gives everyone the eye but this is manly because she is lonely and wanting more male attention; bringing up the subject of 'Curley's wife'. George stays out of her way because if anything ever happened with them, he's get sacked.
Sorry this is a little more than you asked for! but I hope it helped.

She didn't have a name. They kept referring to her as Curley's wife

Having not read the book in several years I could totaly be wrong but I allways thought that she didnt have a name. A trick that stienbeck used to help illustrate her lonliness.

She doesn't have a name. Well, I'm sure she had a name, but it was never said in the book or movie.
