Switch case 4 keeps repeating

Hello I am having problem with switch 4 in the main. I narrow down the problem to if ((strcmp(name, temp->name)) == 0) in deleteByName.

For some reason it wont get past , if ((strcmp(name, temp->name)) == 0), and goes back to the switch 4 and ask the question printf("\nEnter the full name to delete , ending with a period ("".""):\n"); over and over and over again non stop really fast.

    struct node {
    char name[50]; 
    int id; 
    struct node *next;
 } *head;

void readInData();
void insert(char name[50], int id);
void deleteById(int id);
void deleteByName(char name[50]);

main(){

readInData();


int i, id;
char name[50];
while (1){
printf("Select an Option from the Table:\n\n");

printf("#1. Insert\n");
printf("#2. Display\n");
printf("#3. Delete by ID\n");
printf("#4. Delete by Name\n");
printf("#5. Exit\n\n");

scanf("%d", &i);

switch (i){
case 1:{
printf("\nEnter your full name and your ID separated by a comma:\n");
scanf("%[^,] , %i", name, &id);

insert(name, id);


}

break;

case 2:{
struct node *temp;
temp = head;
while (temp->next != NULL) {
printf("%s, %d\n", temp->name, temp->id);
temp = temp->next;
}
if (temp->next == NULL){
printf("%s, %d\n", temp->name, temp->id);
}
}

break;
case 3:{
printf("Enter the ID to delete: \n");
scanf("%i", &id);
deleteById(id);
}
break;
case 4:{
printf("\nEnter the full name to delete , ending with a period ("".""):\n");
scanf("%[^.]", &name);
deleteByName(name);

    }
        break;
    case 5:{
        return(0);
    }
        break;
    default:{
        printf("Please enter a number from 1-5 \n");
    }

        break;

    }
}
system("pause");

}

void deleteByName(char name[50]){
struct node *temp, *prev;
temp = (struct node *) malloc(sizeof(struct node));

temp = head;

while (temp != NULL)
{
    if ((strcmp(name, temp->name)) == 0)
    {
        if (temp == head)
        {
            head = temp->next;
            free(temp);
            return 1;
        }
        else
        {
            prev->next = temp->next;
            free(temp);
            return 1;
        }
    }
    else
    {
        prev = temp;
        temp = temp->next;
    }
}
return 0;

}
