The value of the select attribute must be an XPath expression.

msgContact is an XPath expression - it means child::msgContact, and selects
a child element of the context node. I think you wanted to pass a string:
select="'msgContact'".

{$name} is not an XPath expression. XPath expressions never contain an "{".
Curly braces are used only in attribute value templates, to separate an
XPath expression from surrounding text. I think you wanted to pass the value
of the variable $name: use select="$name".
