Welcome to the forums.

If you are not expecting the directories to already be there (eg running the script multiple times against the same input file), you could test for the existence and increment a counter.

Code:
IFS=","
file_name=infile
sed 1d $file_name | while read Name Food Sport
do
   count=0
   dirname=$Name
   while [ -d "$dirname" ]
   do
       ((count++))
       dirname="${Name}_$count"
   done

   mkdir -p "$dirname"
   #echo "=================="
    #echo "Name: $Name"
done
