Well, hello, hope you had your third coffee now because I think Nicolas meant making a table with a $1 in its name ( I know Nicolas a little bit ).

I tried this and it didn't work, it seems that the name "bigsample-$1" is not expanded at all

You have to put the $1 at the front: $1-bigsample. $-names only get expanded if they start wih $x.

and the second issue is to use it in a message like

bigsample-$1 read $1 100

In this case, $1 is the first argument incoming in the message ( which is a filename in this case ).

In messages $-names get expanded by evaluating the incoming messages. They have to begin with $ and a number as well. But $1-bigsample in an object and $1-bigsample in a message can be different!
