I am a beginner on Bootstrap. I am making just a simple page including the name of my friend in the center of the page, but I have tried different things but the bootstrap is not working. Can someone please help me.

Here is my code :

```
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css"/>
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Nixie+One" rel="stylesheet">
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  <title>Pranjal Chauhan</title>
</head>
<body style="background-color:#12161A;">
  <div class="container-fluid">
    <div class="row">
      <div class="col-md-offset-4 col-md-8" id="header">
        <h1 id="name"> &lt Pranjal Chauhan &gt </h1>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</body>
</html>

```

and the CSS file

```
#name{
  color:#3399FF;
  font-family:Nixie One,arial;
  margin-top: 20%;
  font-size: 30;  
}
```
