What is wrong with my script? I don't see the problem, I'm sorry I'm new into Linux Shell Scripting.

# Skript: M122_Scripts/addPerson.sh
echo "Write youre name (: end with quit"
read $Name 
while true; do
if [ "$Name" = "quit" ]; then
echo "exit add person"
break
else
echo $name >> Filelist
echo $name
read $name
fi
done

There are some mistakes in your script, try this:

#!/bin/bash

echo "Write youre name (: end with quit"
# wrong: read $Name
read Name
while true; do
 if [ "$Name" = "quit" ]; then
 echo "exit add person"
 break
 else
 echo $Name >> Filelist
 echo $Name
 # wrong: read $name
 read Name
 fi
done

Also, I would recommend using read -r so backslashes will show in your variable.
