I'm a small independent contractor.  I just use my name for my work.  Schedule C , line C is asking for a business name  - but says leave it blank if you're using just your name.  I try to leave it blank but it won't let me.

The forum filter messed up your token number, but you may or may not need it. 

You don't just ignore it to leave the business name blank, or TurboTax will think you failed to answer it.  You have to actively  tell TurboTax that you use your own name for your business name by placing a check mark. (see image below).  When you so indicate with the check mark to use the same name, then the software will correlate on the Schedule C that is being prepared in the background

How are you trying to answer that question?  Are you using Online TurboTax or desktop software?   If using desktop software, are you using Forms Mode or the interview step-by-step mode?   In the interview mode of both versions you should have encountered a screen early on in the business interview that looks similar to this one:
