```python import xarray as xr import pandas as p import numpy as np

var1 = np.ones((364)) tt1=p.date_range('1/1/2018','12/30/2018') tt1.name= 'time1_name'

var=xr.Dataset( data_vars={ 'var1':(('mytime1'),var1), }, coords={ 'mytime1':tt1, } )

```

Problem description

I got the following error "MergeError: coordinate mytime1 shares a name with a dataset dimension, but is not a 1D variable along that dimension. This is disallowed by the xarray data model." when I inlcude name attribue "time1_name" to the var1 dimension mytime1.

Expected Output

Output of xr.show_versions()
