Give a try to the default filter:

{{ evaluation.category.name|default('[No name]') }}

Use twig test defined :

{% if evaluation.category.name is defined %}
    {{evaluation.category.name}}
{% endif %}

Instead of checking for the category name, check whether the category associated with an evaluation exists.

{% if evaluation.getCategory  %}
        {{evaluation.category.name}}
{% endif %}

Ideally, when you delete a category that is linked to multiple evaluations, you should remove the relation between the deleted category and the evaluations.

For this, specify whether to delete all the evaluations when a category is deleted or to set the category of all related evaluations to null when deleting the category. For this, in yml the relation should be defined as 

manyToOne:
        user:
          targetEntity: LB\CoreBundle\Entity\User
          joinColumn:
            name: user_id
            referencedColumnName: id
            onDelete: "SET NULL"

The onDelete can be either "SET NULL" or "CASCADE" depending on whether you need set the category field on evaluation as null or delete all the evaluations that are related to a category.

Modify your code for setting the category on evaluations as given below. You were not persisting the evaluations after setting the categorry to null.

$evaluations = $em->getRepository('HfAppBundle:Evaluation')->findByCategory($catId); 

foreach ($evaluations as $evl) { 
$evl->setCategory(null);
//this line was missing
 $em->persist($evl);
} 

$em->flush();
