running into error with submitting forms

i get an error in my code after i submit the form in the /name route, and when i check my cookies in the chrome devtools it defines the name but name is undefined

here is all my code:

router.get('/name', (req, res)=>{
    res.render('name');
});

router.post('/age', (req, res)=>{
    const name = req.body.name;
    res.cookie('name', name);
    //i think there is something wrong below here
    if(name){
        res.render('age', {name});
    } else{
        res.redirect('/name');
    };
});

block content
    form(action='/ask/name', method='post')
        label(for='name') Name:
        input#name(type='text', name='name', placeholder='John Doe')
        button(type='sumbit') sumbit
