Regex select everything between two strings, but not one of the strings

I have some html code that I need to regex and remove a part of it.

In this particular example I need to remove 2-columns.. The full string is name="2-columns.Heading-1" but needs to read name="Heading-1"

I would like this to be extendable because another example could be name="3-columns.Heading-1". So I want to remove everything after the starting point of name=" and the ending . (I also want to remove the .)

Can anyone help me form the correct regex? I'm struggling.

Replace at group 1:

/name="(([^.]+)\.)Heading-1"/

Or:

'<tag name="2-columns.Heading-1">lalalala</tag>'.replace(/name="(([^.]+)\.)Heading-1"/, 'name="Heading-1"')

is: 

"<tag name="Heading-1">lalalala</tag>"

and:

'<tag name="2-columns.Heading-2">lalalala</tag>'.replace(/name="(([^.]+)\.)Heading-1"/, 'name="Heading-2"')

is:

"<tag name="2-columns.Heading-2">lalalala</tag>"

or:

'<tag name="2-columns.Heading-1">lalalala</tag>'.replace(/(name=")(([^.]+)\.)(?=Heading-1")/, "$1");

One way;

str = str.replace(/(^name=\")(.*\.)/, "$1");
