I suspect much if not all of your trouble would be eliminated by using file.path() instead of paste0().
https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/base/versions/3.6.2/topics/file.path (Also check your file name - you probably want a . between name and csv, so using paste(name, "csv", sep = ".") would create a more usual file name. It's always a good idea to work thru your loop by hand once, and look at all the intermediate steps. Often that quickly shows you where you went wrong.
