Hello,
I'm trying to figure out how to create a data object, and then save it
with a user-defined name that is input as a command line argument. I
know how to create the object and assign it the new name, however, I
can't figure out how to refer to the new name for a future operation
such as save().

You probably want the get() function:
get( myobjectname )
The help page for get() has a note which states that it is the compliment of
assign(). Perhaps a similar note should be added to the help page for
assign...
It's also FAQ 7.21. Not quite as famous as 7.31, but still a good vintage.
