If you use <c:set var=""> to set a variable to the name and then have it
check against it before printing out the name should work. ie,
<c:set var="thename">first time it's zero length</c:set>
<c:if test="${oldname != newname}">
<c:set var="thename">the name value</c:set>
<c:out value="${thename}"/>
</c:if>
