Hmm... Why do you think we used intstr() in the first place?  To convert the integer into a string so that it can be concatenated to your text using the + operator.  If your variable is a string already, there is no need for intstr() and everything else stays the same.

It's not werking because you didn't listen to a thing I said.  You add the string variable to the end of your text using the + operator, otherwise it will take your variable as an extra argument.

Sigh... 
You should definately have gotten this on your own:
Font.Draw ("Player 1: " + name, 70, 400, font, blue)
