Maybe I'm missing something, but I think it's simpler than you expect:
<xsl:for-each
     select="saxon:evaluate(concat('$doc2','/xml/adressbook/entry'))">
	<xsl:value-of select="name" />
</xsl:for-each>

The for-each selects all entry elements. These build the context node-set.
>From that node-set you want the name children. 
There's no need to use saxon:evaluate once again.

BTW: name/. means name/self::node(), so that step is really unnecessary.
     Perhaps you had in mind name/text(), i.e. the text child of name.
