Susuma, I think you can find the answer in the example section
of the help page for substitute:

     myplot <- function(x, y)
         plot(x, y, xlab=deparse(substitute(x)),
              ylab=deparse(substitute(y)))

So, try for instance:

mplot=function(x) { plot(x); title(deparse(substitute(x))) }
