The problem is that you indent the if statement. the if/elif/else 
statements
are part of the outer block, so they do not need indentation.

name = raw_input("What is your name, plase? ")
if name == "Nathan" :
	print "What a great name!"
elif name in ["Madonna","Cher"] :	# in better than == here :)
	print "May I have your autograph please!"
else :	# don't forget the ":"
	print name, ", thats a nice name!"
