Try to concatenate the two variables.

PlanetNameHolder.Name = (Name.. " ".. Surname)

Or.

PlanetNameHolder.Name = tostring(Name.. " ".. Surname)

Here's a better way of achieving what you're looking for. To avoid the if else mess just use tables, and to avoid changing the random() calls use the length of the table. Wallah!

local PlanetNameHolder = script.Parent
local NameGenerate = math.random(#prefix)
local SurnameGenerate = math.random(#surname)

prefix = {
    'LOL',
    'Bad',
    'Nice'
}

surname = {
    'Planet',
    'Rock',
    'Ball'
}
--you may need to do PlanetNameHolder.Name or PlanetNameHolder.Value here
PlanetNameHolder = prefix[NameGenerate]..surname[SurnameGenerate]
