Well, for some reason, it doesn't work. I get the exact same errors as what @MCProHost has; even the else statement error.
 
So..? That means what? This is the problem:
[21:19:06 ERROR]: [Skript] There's no item stack in an on item spawn event (dropped items have names.sk, line 2: if name of event-item is set:')

Code once again:

On item spawn:
if name of event-item is set:
Add "{CustomName:""%name of event-item%"",CustomNameVisible:1}" To nbt of event-entity
else:
Add "{CustomName:""%event-item%"",CustomNameVisible:1}" To nbt of event-entity

Try:

code_language.skript: 
On item spawn:
    if name of event-entity is set:
        Add "{CustomName:""%name of event-entity%"",CustomNameVisible:1}" To nbt of event-entity
    else:
        Add "{CustomName:""%event-entity%"",CustomNameVisible:1}" To nbt of event-entity

And try:

code_language.skript: 
On item spawn:
    if name of event item is set:
        Add "{CustomName:""%name of event-item%"",CustomNameVisible:1}" To nbt of event-entity
    else:
        Add "{CustomName:""%event-item%"",CustomNameVisible:1}" To nbt of event-entity

and try:

code_language.skript: 
On item spawn:
    if "%name of event-item%" is not "<none>":
        Add "{CustomName:""%name of event-item%"",CustomNameVisible:1}" To nbt of event-entity
    else:
        Add "{CustomName:""%event-item%"",CustomNameVisible:1}" To nbt of event-entity

this might work it does for me

code_language.skript: 
On item spawn:
    set {_nbt} to tag "Item" of nbt of event-entity
    set {_nbt} to "%{_nbt}%"
    set {_tags::*} to {_nbt} split at ","
    loop {_tags::*}:
        if loop-value contains "id:":
            set {_item} to loop-value
            replace every "{" with "" in {_item}
            replace every "}" with "" in {_item}
            replace every "id:""minecraft:" with "" in {_item}
            replace every """" with "" in {_item}
        if loop-value contains "tag:":
            set {_name} to loop-value
            replace every "{" with "" in {_name}
            replace every "}" with "" in {_name}
            replace every "tag:display:Name:""" with "" in {_name}
            replace every """" with "" in {_name}
    if {_name} is set:
        Add "{CustomName:""%{_name}%"",CustomNameVisible:1}" To nbt of event-entity
    else:
        Add "{CustomName:""%{_item}%"",CustomNameVisible:1}" To nbt of event-entity

if it doesn't

use this and tell me the output if you drop a NAMED item.

code_language.skript: 
On item spawn:
    set {_nbt} to tag "Item" of nbt of event-entity
    broadcast "%{_nbt}%"
 
Im not sure, I'm not going to use this for my server anymore. Thanks for the help though!
[doublepost=1505959872,1505952044][/doublepost]I changed my mind:
I need this on my server xD

The output I get when I dropped and named item and a normal item:

[doublepost=1505959952][/doublepost]When the NAMED item is dropped:

Can you try this And give me THE outputs wenn you drop a normal item.

code_language.skript: 
Code (Skript):
On item spawn:
    set {_nbt} to tag "Item" of nbt of event-entity
    set {_nbt} to "%{_nbt}%"
    set {_tags::*} to {_nbt} split at ","
    loop {_tags::*}:
        if loop-value contains "id:":
            set {_item} to loop-value
            Message "1: %{_item}%"
            replace every "{" with "" in {_item}
            Message "2: %{_item}%"
            replace every "}" with "" in {_item}
            Message "3: %{_item}%"
            replace every "id:""minecraft:" with "" in {_item}
            Message "4: %{_item}%"
            replace every """" with "" in {_item}
            Message "5: %{_item}%"
        if loop-value contains "tag:":
            set {_name} to loop-value
            replace every "{" with "" in {_name}
            replace every "}" with "" in {_name}
            replace every "tag:display:Name:""" with "" in {_name}
            replace every """" with "" in {_name}
    if {_name} is set:
        Add "{CustomName:""%{_name}%"",CustomNameVisible:1}" To nbt of event-entity
    else:
        Add "{CustomName:""%{_item}%"",CustomNameVisible:1}" To nbt of event-entity
 
I'll try it when I get home
[doublepost=1506089688,1505997415][/doublepost]Edit: ended up re creating this in Java.
 
Any help will be greatly appreciated guys! Thanks! (Bump)

(Any help with the error I have! See above for more information. Thanks)
 
They said it worked for them previously, so yeah, it should be possible with skript. It is a little annoying when you really need help on something, so your hopes are up when you see a reply on your thread and then when you read it, it is just a comment saying, "It's definitely possible with skript." Thanks for the help man. Couldn't have figured that out without you.

I don't want to offend you, @Pikachu, but please post something that can be used to help solve the problem.

Any help is much appreciated. If you didn't know, the problem I would like fixed is the following: I have this code which works perfectly for others, but when I do it, I get two errors that shouldn't be there.

Skript:
code_language.skript: 
On item spawn:
    if name of event-item is set:
        Add "{CustomName:""%name of event-item%"",CustomNameVisible:1}" To nbt of event-entity
    else:
        Add "{CustomName:""%event-item%"",CustomNameVisible:1}" To nbt of event-entity

Error:
code_language.skript: 
[20:57:20 ERROR]: There's no item stack in an on item spawn event (dropped items have names.sk, line 2: if name of event-item is set:')
[20:57:20 ERROR]: 'else' has to be placed just after an 'if' or 'else if' section (dropped items have names.sk, line 4: else:')

(The error I provided above was not from my console as it was from another user's console that was involved in this thread as well. I still get the same error message, but the fine details such as: "name.sk, line 4: else:'" is not mine, but would be something like: "scripts.sk, line 47: else:" I know that it doesn't matter at all, but I just wanted to state it so that if anyone needs to know that, it is there.)

Thank you!
Best Regards,
@LoneElf

If you read the docs, it's not event-item. It's event-entity. https://skunity.com/search?search=item+spawn
 
You guys are doing an awful lot of work for something that could have been done in 3 lines
code_language.skript: 
on item spawn:
  event-entity.setCustomNameVisible(true);
  event-entity.setCustomName(event-entity.getItemStack().getItemMeta().getDisplayName() ? "%event-entity.getItemStack()%");
skript-mirror, skQuery

Thanks @Pikachu! It works! Thanks to everyone who offered their assistance as I really do appreciate it! The method @Pikachu offered worked 100% fine and is one I am very happy with! Thanks guys!
[doublepost=1506265051,1506183261][/doublepost]I am just curious as I might use this in the future, but does the code that you provided, @Pikachu, work with blocks too, I am guessing?

EDIT: So, I tried it and it didn't work. Here is my code:
code_language.skript: 
on block place:
        if event-block is a 91:0:
                event-block.setCustomNameVisible(true);
                event-block.setCustomName(event-block.getItemStack().getItemMeta().getDisplayName() ? "&d&lHALLOWEEN LOOT")

Thanks!
(By the way, don't call me out for my spacing as my skript is kind of messed up, but I found to work around it.)

Blocks can't do that, only entities. To make it similar to entities, spawn an invisible armor stand with a name.
