I do not think it good that some churches ask its members to write their names on tithes, love gifts and offerings.

Like, honestly, it's a red flag to me.

“But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.”
---Matthew 6:3-4

I too second your thought. Doesn't writing names contradict the following...
Matthew 6:1-4 (NIV):
"Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."
Even though offerings may not exactly categorize as giving it to the needy...
