For the latest version of Webdriver (RC3) you should use "click()" instead of setSelected(). Also option.getText().equals("Name you want") should be used instead of option.getText()=="Name you want" in JAVA:

 
WebElement select = driver.findElement(By.name("select"));
List options = select.findElements(By.tagName("option"));
for(WebElement option : options){
    if(option.getText().equals("Name you want"){
        option.click();
        break;
    }
}
