If there are other questions concerning the name it would obviously have been better if they had been more explicit about these potential problems in the fixme tag, but still, if someone has added a fixme=name on an object with a name we should keep it.

Though unspecific fixme=name is not very useful, I would ask in changeset that added this
what exactly is wrong/suspicious if I would encounter it during editing.

And yes, fixme=name on object without name is likely completely useless.
But I would also consider asking people adding it whatever it is used in any way.
