XSLT selecting one of two nodes with same name on attribute value

XML example

 <item> 
  <name>AW</name>
  <name>Car</name>
 </item>

XSLT Code

 <xsl:if test="item/name='AW'">
 <xsl:value-of select="item[name='AW']/[name='Car']"/>
 </xsl:if>

My problem is how to choose the value in the second attribute name if the value is not known

For example

 <item>
  <name>AW</name>
  <name>Unknown</name>
 </item>
 
 <item>
  <name>BW</name>
  <name>Unknown</name>
 </item>

There are no attributes in your XML. Both item and name are elements.

If you have multiple item elements, each containing 2 (or more) name elements, and you want to return the string-value of the 2nd name element from the item element where the 1st name element contains the string "AW", you could use simply:

<xsl:value-of select="item[name[1]='AW']/name[2]"/>
