It means you're trying to modify the name var of an object that hasn't been initialized, and so is null.

This is a pretty easy error to track down. For one thing, all you have to do is look for anywhere you used something.name. But if that doesn't help, you can turn on debugging info in Build | Preferences to get a line number to go with your error.

Somewhere in your code, theres name. instead of name

Nope, the problem is more like this:
var/mob/M
M.name = "test"
That will fail because M was never initialized. null.var and null.proc errors are easy to spot. Easier if you have a line number to go on.
