Why are you defining cleaned_name, and calling it from the view?
That's not the way to call form validation. The form doesn't have a
cleaned_data attribute until form validation is actually run, which
you're not doing.
Instead, call the method clean_name. Then, in the view, check
form.is_valid(). This will automatically call all clean_* methods and
the form-level validation. At that point, cleaned_data will exist.
