symfony2 form validation: form field name "not valid" error

I created a Form in Symfony2, with the field "name" set to the type "text"... But for some reason, I can't use any spaces in this field... I get the following error:

form type name ("") is not valid

I tried renaming the field and changing the type to "textarea", but the problem remains.

Here is how the form is defined:

$builder -> add('name', 'text')

Can anybody tell me what the problem is?

What about adding 

public function getName()
{
    return 'your_type_name';
}

to your Type.

Note that the getName() method should return a unique identifier for the form "type".
