Multiple Variables for "-name" parameter in "New-Item" - powershell

Question

I'm having issues with the following PS script:
New-Item -name $InfoLog -path $LogPath -Name ("Info Log - ",$DateStamp," - ",$TimeStamp) -type file
It gives me the error-
Cannot bind parameter because parameter 'Name' is specified more than
once. To provide multiple values to parameters that can accept
multiple values, use the array syntax. For example, "-parameter
value1,value2,value3".
Any ideas? I also tried it without the parentheses.

All PowerShell cmdlets accept only one argument per parameter. However, you passed two arguments to the -Name parameter of New-Item:
New-Item -name $InfoLog -path $LogPath -Name ("Info Log - ",$DateStamp," - ",$TimeStamp) -type file
# One argument ^^^^^^^^ Another argument ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Because this is an illegal function call, PowerShell is raising your error.
It looks like you meant to write this:
New-Item -Path $LogPath -Name "Info Log - $DateStamp - $TimeStamp" -Type File
The variables in the string "Info Log - $DateStamp - $TimeStamp" will be expanded into the values that they represent:
PS > $a = 123
PS > $b = "abc"
PS > "$a -- $b"
123 -- abc
