You cannot get only the names as a tuple but you can implement something 
similar:

1. Loop through the tuple
2. Get the name of a field in the struct using the "stringof" property 
on the tuple
3. Slice of the name of the struct and some other unwanted characters

You can have a look at this method as well:
