Can you see the name with \d <table> within psql?

An example:

test=# create table bla (id int check (id between 1 and 4));
CREATE TABLE
test=# \d bla     Table "public.bla"Column |  Type   | Modifiers
--------+---------+-----------id     | integer |
Check constraints:   "bla_id_check" CHECK (id >= 1 AND id <= 4)

test=# alter table bla drop CONSTRAINT bla_id_check;
ALTER TABLE
test=# \d bla     Table "public.bla"Column |  Type   | Modifiers
--------+---------+-----------id     | integer |
