Unable to insert current username into custom table through html form

wp_get_current_user returns a WP_User object. You’ll need to pull the name out of that in order to send it try $current_user->display_name in your insert statement. On that note, you should absolutely not be inserting unsanitized user entered data into your database. Please look into SQL injection and input sanitization.
