First if you need to get the name of the sObject you need to try this. Since the result return from the SOQL is List so you need to get the first element to do that
  
List<SObject> sObj = Database.Query('select id from Account');
system.debug(sObj[0].getSObjectType());

In this since you are referrring the Name (Field Name) which will give you the value of the Record no the Value of the SObject but you have not mention the Field Name in the SOQL. 
system.debug(sObj[0].get('Name'));
So alter your SOQL Like this
  
List<Sobject> sObj = Database.Query('select id, Name from Account');
system.debug(sObj[0].get('Name'));

If you wanted to find for the entir list then use this
  
List<SObject> sObj = Database.Query('select id, Name from Account');
for(SObject sObjIns : SObj) {
	system.debug(sObjIns.get('Name'));    
}

I hope this will calrifies
