I'm not sure what you mean by "still no good result" as using 
random.shuffle works quite nicely:

 >>> name = "name1 name2 name3 name4".split()
 >>> name
['name1', 'name2', 'name3', 'name4']
 >>> import random
 >>> random.shuffle(name)
 >>> name
['name1', 'name3', 'name4', 'name2']
 >>> print ' '.join(name)
name1 name3 name4 name2

which is exactly what you describe...
