Do you have 'name' as a "required" field in the checkout profile?

Usually when I had this kind of problem, it was because of a few reasons:

1) misusing some of MV's magic variables (the mv_xxxxx variables)
2) poor spelling (i.e. the field is called address and I typed adress).
3) resetting the value somehow.  usually I did this in the checkout
profile.
