ec2-describe-instances --filter "instance-state-name=stopped"
This helps me list all stopped instances with all its details. How should I modify the command that it only gives me the names of the stopped instances?

You are using old style commands. Use AWS CLI to get what you want.
aws ec2 describe-instances --filters "Name=instance-state-name,Values=stopped" --query 'Reservations[].Instances[].Tags[?Key==`Name`].Value[]'
you can use aws cli combined with other tools like jq
aws ec2 describe-instances \
--filter Name=instance-state-name,Values=stopped \
--query 'Reservations[].Instances[].{ID: InstanceId,Hostname: PublicDnsName,Name: Tags[?Key==`Name`].Value }' \
| jq '.[] | .Name[]'
this will produce output in form:
"instance2"
"instance1"
