Apex trigger for new record creates number

Log.add(new Cx_Trans_Log__c(
               Object__c = 'Activity',
               Object_Id__c = newActivity.Name,
               Owner2_Id__c = newActivity.Owner1_Id__c,

I am using the above code to create a new log record when an activity is changed in salesforce.com. The Owner2_Id__c that is created from newActivity.Owner1_Id__c doesn't give me the name of the Owner1_Id__c (this is a lookup(User) field). Is there a way to get the User name that is displayed in Owner1 to Owner2?

The right way to do it is to make one query. For this example, I'll assume by activities you mean Tasks:

Set<Id> userIds = new Set<Id>();
for (Task t : Trigger.new) {
    userIds.add(t.OwnerId);
}
Map<Id, User> users = new Map<Id, User>([SELECT Name FROM User WHERE Id IN :userIds]);

// then you could plug something like this into your existing code
String userName = users.get(newActivity.Onwer1_Id__c).Name;
