How to Create Dynamic Object using a variable (string) for the Instance name without reflection C#

Question

I want to know how to create a dynamically named instance of a dynamic object.
I am using Dynamic Objects already and so I do not want to add in reflection on top of that .. I am trying to keep it simple and bare bones as fast as a dynamic object will go.

So for example the code:

C#

dynamic Bee = new DynamicObject();

I would like to do :

C#

string instanceName = "SomeWeirdName";
dynamic 'instanceName' = new DynamicObject();

Is there a way to do this ?
If so with out a huge hit on performance ?
I do not want to go the moon just to get next door.

I read this Instance Name as A Variable which is for Java but I am looking for C# or VB.NET - I can convert the VB.

Store your objects in a Dictionary<string,> so you can do

dict["SomeWeirdName"] = new DynamicObject();

That sounds interesting , but if I do that - each time I set a property on that dynamic object it is a dictionary lookup -, one of the steps I was looking to avoid. because if it is dynamic, my valueItem has an identifier and I can use valueItem.Identifer so my object would be instantiated with the valueUniqueIdentifier as its name and then setting the values is easy , and when I am done I just update my other class
myOtherClassInstance = (MyOtherClass)MyDynamicObject();
I might save a little time this way but I am not sure..
