Why can't I change value with player.Name?

Hello, I'm trying to make a script that means upon joining the game, a player is given a GUI, when they click a button it changes a value with changes another value inside of a folder of all the player stats. When I test this game for myself the only thing changing is the PSA, the player.Name value is loaded, but not it's actual value.

Here's the code:

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local NewThingName = ThingName:Clone()

	NewThingName.Parent = game.Workspace.ThingValues

	NewThingName.Value = PSA.Value
	wait (1)
	NewThingName.Name = player.Name
		
		if PSA.Value == "Thing1" then
		print ("not thing2")
	elseif NewThingName.Value == "Thing2" then


			print ("Hello!")
		end
	end)

PSA is a string value inside the gui when a function calls to change it's value, it works fine, it's the 'NewThingName' that is named after the player that won't work.
