Only if the attribute is declared to have a fixed enumerated list of
values, which isn't the case for a name attribute.

If something is outputting name="name" as name, then it shouldn't.

html4 has
<!ATTLIST INPUT
...
  name        CDATA          #IMPLIED  -- submit as part of form --
  value       CDATA          #IMPLIED  -- required for radio and checkboxes --
  checked     (checked)      #IMPLIED  -- for radio buttons and check boxes --

so 
<input checked="checked" may be written <input checked
but you can't do that with name.
