Two small problems with while loop and char space

Number1Taco (2)
Hello everyone, first time posting on this forum but have used it to help me many times over the last month.

So I'm making a dice game but I can't seem to stop the while loop and I'm not sure how to have my full name (including the space) appear when the game is won. Everything else seems to be functioning perfectly.

I have changed it to a do while loop and the while states 

 
 
while (target != total2);


and the character was just cin.getline(name, 50).
