You are going to need to use two page styles. I would recommend
First Page and Default. (You will have to use the Styles and
Formatting window for these. Use F11 to open this window.)
If you want your name to appear in a header or footer on the
first page, Insert > Footer > First Page. Then enter your name.
For your name to appear on the second page and following,
Insert > Footer > Default. Then enter your name and page number where
you want them to be.
As a writer, you will be well served to download the Writer Guide:
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/oooauthors2/. The two
chapters on styles in this guide should also help. If you are not
acquainted with styles at all, the chapter on styles in the Gettting
Started Guide should be a good beginning point. (It is on the same
web page.)
