This (as well as what Hans suggested) takes care of the first case. But
I also what it to print

Definition 1 (Name)    Bla Bla..

when I type

\startdefn[ref]{Name}
Bla Bla ..
\enddefn

i.e., when I supply the "Name" option to defn it should print "(Name)"
right after "Definition 1" and then leave some spacing (the amount that
it would have left normally). Just like

\begin{defn}[Name] \label{ref}
Bla Bla
\end{defn}

would have worked in LaTeX if I had 
\newtheorem{defn}{Definition}

I would also like to use this to
generate a table of definitions (of those definitions which had an
option).
