Yes! you can extract xy in the name field and use it as you want. Something like this

...|rex field=name "(?<mynewfield>your regex)"|table mynewfield

Now you have a new field called mynewfield with the value of what you have extracted in name field. Let say xy, and you can use it after the extraction .
Thanks
