Name could be used as a noun or verb.

"My name is Chelsea." Name is being used as a noun, specifically the subject, in this sentence.

"Please name the capital of the USA." Name is being used as the verb in this sentence. (Note: This sentence is imperative and therefore does not have a written subject. The subject is an understood "you".)

"Names" can function as both a noun and a verb, depending on how it is used in a sentence.

Usually it's a plural noun ("their names all begin with consonants"), but it can be used as a present-tense transitive verb ("he names his pets with funny-sounding words").
