(See the best response by FKI.)
is there anything that changes the name variable?? I mean besides directly changing it myself.

I ask because I use name like this:
if(src.HP<=src.MAXHP*0.8)                    //Changes src icon_state
    src.icon_state="[src.name]_Wounded"


is this safe??

I don't think you should have much problem doing that, but I'm wondering: why must name be prefixed there?

Because I have some buildings with varying degree of damage and I have named them like

Build01 Build01_Dmg1 Build01_Dmg2
Build02 Build02_Dmg1 ....

so the name of the initial icon_state could be stored into name variable.

Well I could also name Build01 to Build01_Dmg0 and just change the last number with string manipulation

Oh, I see. I cannot think of a reason a building's name would be modified off-top (as long as your world is static); you should be alright doing that.
