Yes, that's because the variable Eugene is undefined or empty. You can put double quotes around the value to guard against this, or simply make sure it's always non-empty.

You should double-quote $NAME also, in case it's empty or contains special characters. In fact, always double-quote your variables.

Perderabo's script should work for you.

It works sort of. It skips the line "My name is the same"
Basically this should get an input from the user, if the name is the same as mine it should say "My name is the same" if it isn't it should say "You have a nice name"
As of now any name i put it echo's "You have a nice name"
