This works:

(define-syntax define-d
   (lambda (stx)
     (syntax-case stx ()
       ((_ n) #`(define n (letrec ((foo (lambda () #f)))
                                  (set-procedure-property! foo 'name 'n)
                                  foo))))))

First, you needs to quite the property value.
Secondly, you should not use the same identifier for the syntax parameter
as the name" keyword.

I'm not clear why the following doesn't work - I'm looking into it.

(define-syntax define-c
   (lambda (stx)
     (syntax-case stx ()
       ((_ n) #`(define n (letrec ((foo (lambda () name: 'n
                                                #f)))
                            foo))))))
