Need help on Apex Trigger

Hi I 'm new to Apex.

What I want want to do is

Every time a new Merchandise record is created I need to create a detail test record with certain fields filled out.

 

Relationship:
Merchandise = Master
Test  = Detail

 

I had create below code but error occured:

 

Trigger CreateNewTestRec on Merchandise__c (after insert){

    list<test__c> AddNR = new list<test__c>();
    
    for(Merchandise__c m : Trigger.new){
        test__c TE = new test__c(
        Merchandise__c = m.Name);
    AddNR.add(TE);
    }
    insert AddNR;
}

 

Error: Invalid Data.
Review all error messages below to correct your data.
Apex trigger CreateNewTestRec caused an unexpected exception, contact your administrator: CreateNewTestRec: execution of AfterInsert caused by: System.StringException: Invalid id: test: Trigger.CreateNewTestRec: line 7, column 26
