This is a basic rewrite rule. Here's the output for your .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On 

RewriteRule ^name/([^/]*)$ /?name=$1 [L]

OR You might as well try a forced 301 SEO friendly redirection:

# 301 --- http://example.com/?name=google => http://example.com/name/google
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)name=google($|&)
RewriteRule ^$ /name/google? [L,R=301]

Have you added : RewriteRule ^name/([^/]*)$ /?name=$1 [L] above RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d – MrJack Mcfreder Sep 23 '15 at 16:30
I have updated the answer, check it out. also try to access: http://example.com/name/google --> see if you can view it. – MrJack Mcfreder Sep 23 '15 at 18:15
So your old links are now redirected to the new friendly links or just example.com/name/google is accessible? – MrJack Mcfreder Sep 24 '15 at 14:00
