Passing PowerShell object to Function - Why does this not work

Question

Why doesn't the below code print the object values when passed into a function? what am I missing?

$Name=@{}
$Name.firstName="John"
$Name.lastName="Doe"

$NameObj=new-object psobject -property $Name


function GetName([PSObject]$NameObj) {
    $NameObj
}

GetName

You have to pass the value to the GetName function:

GetName $NameObj

It is so embarrassing, it missed my eye.

The name of the function is actually fine and does not need to be corrected. There are PowerShell Style Guides that recommend using the Verb-Object naming for advanced functions and camel cases for simple functions like the one above.

@ManuelBatsching I didn't know that, thanks for mentioning and providing the link. I removed that comment.
