I see a few issues.

Line 2

Code:

$name = 36;

the variable isn't defined with a datatype. Int datatype is appropriate here.

Code:

int $name = 36;

On line 7,

Code:

$namestring = "extrudedSurface",$name;

looks like bad syntax so I'm sure that will error out. I'm guessing you want $name to count upwards from 36 for each loop executed and use it as a suffix for "extrudedSurface". In that case, line 7 should be.

Code:

$namestring = ("extrudedSurface" + $name);

The rename statement doesn't have a semi colon and you didn't give the rename command anything to work with really.

Code:

rename $namestring

It should more like...

Code:

rename $namestring $newName;
