Hello Sindhu,

I went through your code, the trigger work if your requirement is something like deleting the existing record of Contact where the contact name is as same as the newly created account name then it will delete the record in the contact.

You may also add event 'after update' on the trigger if any account name is updated with a similar name in the contact record.
 
trigger AccountContatTrigger on Account (before insert,after update) {
List <String> myName = new List<String> ();
    for(Account acc:Trigger.New){
        myName.add(acc.name);
    }
List <Contact> myContact= [Select id,name from Contact where name IN:myName];
delete myContact;
}
