Java Selenium - An invalid or illegal selector was specified

I wanted to create an method that I can reuse whenever there is a form/textbox on the page and check if it is existing by returning True/False. I created Fields() that I placed on the same Sele class But I am not sure why I am getting the error :

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.InvalidSelectorException: invalid selector: An invalid or illegal selector was specified



public boolean Fields(String field, String name) {
    boolean f;
     if (field.equals("textbox")){
            return f= driver.findElement(By.name("'+ name +'")).isDisplayed();
           
     }

     return false;

        }



```

Instead of this line:

return f= driver.findElement(By.name("'+ name +'")).isDisplayed();

Use this:

return f= driver.findElement(By.name('"'+ name +'"')).isDisplayed();
