In head you should keep special info such as meta tags, keywords which don't display on page. Remove name Alex and put there the above line with <meta charset=utf-8">. If you want Alex to display at the top at the window of browser you can take it in title tags (opened and closed) and leave it in head.

You should have had the meta tag inside the head tag.

Also inside the head tag, you should have put the word 'Alex' inside a title tag.

Like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Alex</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>Alex Duty  |  Bmx racer</header>
    <h1>BMX is AWESOME!</h1>
  </body>
</html>

Hope that helps.
