Death Folder Names

I have folders on my desktop that I want to delete the name but not the folder.

I have gone into Get Info, Rename and tried to delete but the name keeps coming back.

How do I delete the name but not the folder?

MacBook, OS X 10.11

A folder must have a name. If desired, type a space there.
