Hi Lorentzo,
Here are some possibilities; replace 27 with your number or variable.
"MyName" <> StringDrop[ToString[10000 + #], 1] & @ 27
StringReplacePart["MyName0000", #, {-StringLength[#], -1}] &@
 ToString@27
"MyName" <>
 ToString[PaddedForm[27, 4, NumberPadding -> "0",
   NumberSigns -> {"", ""}]]
"MyName" <> ToString[PaddedForm[27, 3, NumberPadding -> "0"]]
Cheers -- Sjoerd
