I should think this is straight forward but I'm new to FME and hit a wall rather quickly. I have a road network file for the UK. I would like to merge the file on the a single attribute (NAME). However, there are some segments that don't have a value ("null") in the NAME field. I'm trying to merge the "null" records to the nearest segment that has an actual name rather than simply merging all the "null" values together. Then I need to simplify the road network for visualization purposes. Thank you in advance.

Getting the NAME from the nearest object on the object with the null NAME can be done using the NeighborFinder. First use the Tester to find all null NAMES and use those as BASE the others (with NAME) as candidates. The name should be copied on the null NAME object.
