Coalesce that shows the Field and Value in a Table

Good Afternoon,

I am working on a coalesce query that looks like this: 

| makeresults
| eval Name="John", NAME="Johnny", name="john"
| eval New_Name=coalesce("Name:;"+Name, "NAME:;"+NAME, "name:;"+name)
| rex mode=sed field=New_Name "s/;/\n/g"
| table New_Name

The output I get is exactly what I'm looking for but is there a way I can simplify this? I'm trying to have the table display the field name with the coalesced value without having to type in the string before the value (ie:  "Name:;"+Name). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Respectfully,

Jayson
