Please help meh, with variables

[MLGsuperGame414]

I need some help dim'ing my variables I have a test line of code for my ultimate project. I am new to the BATCH coding language. But not to BASIC and some C++ so I am not a complete noob.
Here is the line of code that I need help with,

@echo off
set var=%csname%
echo select option
Echo.
Echo 1). Keith
Echo 2). Martin
Echo.
set /p %csname%=Choose a name;
Echo %csname%
Pause

I want to get var to display in my batch file but when I run it nothing happens. I know I might be making it to complicated but I don't know how to go about it. Please help and thanks.
