You can only put the Id into the map directly from a query.  Also, "Name" is not a variable type so you would use String instead.

If you want to use the account name as the key of your map, you will have to build the map in a loop:
  
Map<String, Account> am = new Map<String, Account>();
List<Account> act = [Select id, name from Account limit 10];

for (Account a : act) { 
   am.put(a.Id, a);
}

name is not datatype, by default id will come up as a key because that is unique.
