I thought the people of bavel got punished because they wanted to fight with hashem kivayachol it seems like the rebbe is saying they just wanted to have a name ?

"they wanted to immortalize themselves"
But, doesn't almost every great benefactor put his or her name on the yeshiva, the sefer. the program, the building, etc.
Nothing wrong with that

As the Rabbi explained, It all depends on the motivation.
Putting your name is not the issue.
