Brand name = manufacturers
name brand = ERROR - Question is out of order.

Listerine is the brand name of the mouthwash. Listerine is a name brand mouth wash.
like stated earlier. brand name= noun / name brand=adjective
It was the greatest (noun) ever.
That was the most ridiculous thing to ever be brand name.

Well, I believe that /can/ mean the same thing. However, I would use brand name if I were talking about the name of a brand. I would use name brand if I were talking about the brand that dominates the current trend.
As an example, lets take cereal. Everyone knows Cheerios (General Mills). However, there are a lot of rip offs of Cheerios that not everyone knows. So Cheerios is the /name brand/ of the cereal. As oppose to the /brand name/ of Kroger brand "Cheerios" would be Toasted Oats.
Hope that helps.

I'm not sure but maybe it's like the difference between......like a store brand and a big label. Kind of like when Walmart has Equate mouthwash sitting next to Lysterine.

brand name (also trade name) is a commodity, service, or process having a trade name, a name given to a product or service.
name brand name brand is a well-known brand or trademark,
