If you are trying to move .name in relation to .main-nav you can adjust the padding. This create space between the .name and the .main-nav but will not cause the .main-nav container to appear to be moving. This is a simple way to create space around your content in relationship to the container it is in. I think this is what your looking for and hope it helps.
