Try that to test what happens:
$yourname = get_field('your_name');
var_dump($your_name);
var_dump show you, what returned by get_field/the_field function.
to hide your tests from users, put testing code into that check:
if ( get_current_user_id() == 1 ) { /* if your user_id isn't 1, change 1 into code to your user_id */
//your testing code here
}
