Bug 62037

see https://stackoverflow.com/a/44189210/1497139

To get a slide ename I currently use

    CTSlide ctSlide = slide.getXmlObject();
    String name=ctSlide.getCSld().getName();

which might return null.

https://msdn.microsoft.com/vba/powerpoint-vba/articles/slide-name-property-powerpoint

never returns null but has a default slideName 

It would be great if the XSLF API would return the slide name in a compatible manner.

My usecase is that I have slideshows in different language that I need to keep "synchronized". If a slide is added in one slideshow I need to know that the translation in another slideshow is accurate. Since the titles are translated i can not go by title. Going by the position in the slideshow is also a bad idea. Since the slideshows are initially copied from a master language the names are a good starting point. Eventually the names are modified by the authors but not always so a default name would be very helpful here.
