Is ‘name’ a reserved word in URL’s?

I’m creating some custom templates and I keep running in to a problem where I get’Page not found’. After a bit of debugging, I discovered that I only get this if my URL contains www.mysite.com/custom_page/?name=donkey_boy.

If I use www.mysite.com/custom_page/?full_name=donkey_boy, the page loads as it should.

Does that mean that name is a reserved word?

I guess this’ll solve your query… WordPress Reserved Terms. Just search for ‘name’, it’s there.
