Ashwaj, try this formula into cell A2 and drag it down:
="name "&INT((ROW()-ROW($A$1)-1)/4)+1&".V"&MOD(ROW()-ROW($A$1)-1,4)+1&".S"
Cell $A$1 is the header cell.
Change the header cell if you move the list to another range.

Every 4 times the first number changes, the second number being a sequence from 1 to 4, following your specific sequence:

Should you be so fortunate as to be using Excel 365, then the same formula could be written

= LET(
    k, SEQUENCE(100,1,0),
    r, 1+QUOTIENT(k, 4),
    c, 1+MOD(k, 4),
    CONCATENATE("name ", r, ".V", c, ".S")
  )
