Would like to see the places that name-rupa has been referred to in the suttas please. Will appreciate any sutta references with quotes if possible

Thanks

    "In the same say, I tell you, monks, is the nutriment of consciousness to be regarded. When the nutriment of consciousness is comprehended, name & form are comprehended. When name & form are comprehended, I tell you, there is nothing further for a disciple of the noble ones to do."
    http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/sn/sn12/sn12.063.than.html


    "And what is name-&-form? Feeling, perception, intention, contact, & attention: This is called name. The four great elements, and the form dependent on the four great elements: This is called form. This name & this form are called name-&-form.
    http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/sn/sn12/sn12.002.than.html


    "Very well then, Kotthita my friend, I will give you an analogy; for there are cases where it is through the use of an analogy that intelligent people can understand the meaning of what is being said. It is as if two sheaves of reeds were to stand leaning against one another. In the same way, from name-&-form as a requisite condition comes consciousness, from consciousness as a requisite condition comes name-&-form. From name & form as a requisite condition come the six sense media. From the six sense media as a requisite condition comes contact. From contact as a requisite condition comes feeling. From feeling as a requisite condition comes craving. From craving as a requisite condition comes clinging/sustenance. From clinging/sustenance as a requisite condition comes becoming. From becoming as a requisite condition comes birth. From birth as a requisite condition, then aging & death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, distress, & despair come into play. Such is the origination of this entire mass of suffering & stress.

    Having shed classifications, gone beyond conceit, he has here cut through craving for name & form:

    This one -- his bonds cut through, free from trouble, from longing -- though they search they can't find him, human & heavenly beings, here & beyond, in heaven or any abode.
    If you know this, spirit, then say so.

    This question you've asked, Ajita,
    I'll answer it for you —
    where name & form
    are brought to a halt
    without trace:
    With the cessation of consciousness
    they're brought
    to a halt.
    http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/kn/snp/snp.5.01.than.html

    "Sustained by/clinging to the six properties, there is an alighting of an embryo. There being an alighting, there is name-&-form. From name-&-form as a requisite condition come the six sense media. From the six sense media as a requisite condition comes contact. From contact as a requisite condition comes feeling. To one experiencing feeling I declare, 'This is stress.' I declare, 'This is the origination of stress.' I declare, 'This is the cessation of stress.' I declare, 'This is the path of practice leading to the cessation of stress.'
