John,
I'm afraid NAME is a reserved word. Here is the beginning of the help for the add table command:
ADD TABLE TableName | ?
[NAME LongTableName]
Arguments
TableName Specifies the name of the table added to the database.
? Displays the Open dialog box from which you can choose a table to add to the database.
NAME LongTableName Specifies a long name for the table. Long names can contain up to 128 characters and can be used in place of short file names that have a .DBF extension.
