When constructing DataFrame from list of Series use names for index.

When constructing a DataFrame from a list of series, use the series name as index value (if possible).
Workaround is to use DataFrame.from_items()

In [21]: series = [pandas.Series(np.random.rand(3), name=c) for c in list('abcdefg')]

In [22]: df = pandas.DataFrame(series)

In [23]: df
Out[23]:
          0         1         2
0  0.609676  0.023603  0.687154
1  0.060276  0.173545  0.216510

In [24]: df = pandas.DataFrame.from_items([(s.name, s) for s in series]).T
