Neeven:
Try out the isspace() function
#include <ctype.h>
int j;
int isspace(int c);

isspace will test for a character that is a standard whitespace (space,tab,return,newline,vertical tab,etc).

return: returns non-zero for true, 0 for false.

should be pretty simple to implement in your code, try something like this:

Code:

if ((j = isspace(c)) == -1)
    break;
else
    name[i] = name[i] + 1;

similarly i'm pretty sure there is an isalpha() which behaves the same way to ensure you are not changing special symbols...
