Heyy i was wondering, i have an issue with name draw.. It's all well drawing when there are 2 players.. but when another player joins the names of the 2 players are drawn on one other player object.. Yet when one Player logs out names are normal again. How do i fix that?

I don't know what you mean, but you can draw player name using that:
obj_player
draw_text(x, y, gms_self_name());
obj_other_player
draw_text(x, y, gms_other_get(player_id, "name"));

Where are you drawing the name? If you're drawing it above the other player object like Ryaangu showed, it should display fine for each player.

it is drawn on the other_player object but the thing is when another player joins ( like when there are 2 players and another joins) the names draw on the only one other_player object, while leaving one other_player blank.

That very much sounds like you might have accidentially set the target of the script/action from 'self' to a specific object.
Alternatively, you might be using [objectname].x and [objectname].y instead of just x and y. That would also always pick the first instance of the object, instead of placing the names above both objects.
