input name attribute is meant for screen readers and form processing, that's HTML5 making the web accessible to all. The id is purposely meant to be targeted by css and JavaScript for styling and dynamic manipulations.

Id value is expected to be unique for each element in a document context (<html>), while name is expected to be unique in a <form> for unique or collection of elements (grroup of radio button for example )...
