    fix: use default field name when name is None in Field conversion (#8557)
    
    # Which issue does this PR close?
    
    - Closes #6415
    
    # Rationale for this change
    Previously, converting an IPC Field with a `None` name could cause a
    panic. This update ensures that a default field name is used in such
    cases.
