You can use auth()->user()->name in blade file.

<?php $name=auth()->user()->name; ?>

You actually have two solutions:

  1. Make sure you have an unique constraint on your database for name

  2. See the code below

    $user = User::where("name", $nameToTestAgainst)->first();

if($user!= null) {
    $v->errors()->add('Duplicate', 'Duplicate user found!');
    return redirect('to-your-view')
                   ->withErrors($v)
                   ->withInput();
}

Laravel form validation

Following is quoted from there:

Use the "unique" rule for name.

$request->validate([
    'name' => 'required|unique:users'
]);

And display error like this:

@if ($errors->any())
    <div class="alert alert-danger">
        <ul>
            @foreach ($errors->all() as $error)
                <li>{{ $error }}</li>
            @endforeach
        </ul>
    </div> @endif
