I have a log that has below pattern

name = name1 Some message about name1  
name = name1 Some more message about name1

name = name2 This is about name2  
name = name2 This is also about name2

Can someone please tell me how can I separate name1, name2 and so on into one field and the messages corresponding to it in another?

If I use split using 'name =', then only first occurrence I will get. Which other plugin can I use? The message does not have key value format either so I may not be able to use kv filter.  
Thank you in advance
