you can use eval():
var k = 'value';
var i = 0;
for(i = 1; i < 5; i++) {
eval('var ' + k + i + '= ' + '{ abc: ' + i + ' }' + ';');
}
alert(value1.abc);
alert(value2.abc);
alert(value3.abc);
alert(value4.abc);
or Window object:
var i;
for(i = 1; i < 5; i++) {
window['value'+ i ] = { abc: i};
}
alert(value1.abc);
alert(value2.abc);
alert(value3.abc);
alert(value4.abc);

The window suggestion will always create global variables, but what the OP posted could create local variables if within functions. It also doesn't work on nodeJS.
You can't do this for the variable itself, but you could have an object with random fields.
var myValues = {
["name" + Math.random()]: "blah"
}
const name = {}; name[Math.floor(Math.random()*Date.now())] = {data:'blah blah blah'}Keep in mind that numeric Object properties which are not instanceof Array will be converted to Strings, though.
