This is a very common scenario, and usually works like a charm:

for(Converted_Customer__c cc : [select name,Paper_Plan__r.name from Converted_Customer__c]){
   
   System.debug(cc.Paper_Plan__r.name); 

}



However, do take care of the following:
  • Eclipse Schema tool shows ID only, if you are trying this query in Eclipse Schema Loader
  • Sometimes, when you create records without populating name, salesforce inserts the record ID in the name field. There is a chance that the Name field of object linking to Paper_Plan__c field has ID instead of actual name. So check the actual record as well.
