What do you mean? wl_output has no name in the dump, and the name for wl_seat is "default". If you refer to the "name" on the line interface: 'wl_output', version: 2, name: 9 that is supposed to be a number indeed. It is the wl_registry id of the global interface, as opposed to a protocol object id. weston-info cannot print any name for a wl_output, because the wl_output protocol interface does not have any way to communicate it. Is this bug about adding a name event to wl_output? There are patches for that on the mailing list.
As Pekka mentioned in #c1, the numbers represent ids and weston-info is designed to be this way. If you need an easier way of determining the character name of a particular output, then this would be an enhancement.
