Can't getName from CategoryCollection while getId and getUrl work

Question

I cant seem to get Category name while i can Get Id and URL am i doing something wrong?

Layout (catalog_product_view.xml)

<block class="Magento\Catalog\Block\Product\View" name="product.category" template="productCategory.phtml"/>

Template

<?php 
  $_product = $block->getProduct();
  $categoryCollection = $_product->getCategoryCollection();

  foreach ($categoryCollection as $value) {
      echo $value->getUrl(); // This returns correct Urls
      echo $value->getId(); //This return correct Ids
      echo $value->getName(); // This returns Null
  }
  ?>

EDIT

Have tried and not showing null

$value->getData()
$value->getPath()
$value->getParentCategory()->getName()

I'm finding this very confusing, as how i can return almost anything except name

Im doing this in magento 2.

You can do this:

$_product = $block->getProduct();
$categoryCollection = $_product->getCategoryCollection()
        ->addAttributeToSelect('name');

foreach ($categoryCollection as $value) {

      echo $value->getUrl(); // This returns correct Urls
      echo $value->getId(); //This return correct Ids
      echo $value->getName(); // Will return the proper name
}

This way you won't have to load anything in a loop.
