Plant That Doesn't Like Light?

I 'm SO glad i found this Forum!
I have just got alot of plants and wasnt told what they are. some i know but others i'm stumped.
I'll start with this one as i dont have much time this morning.

He's my fav and is growing well.
But he gets REALLY droopy in the daytime. when i put him in the bathroom he seems alot better. I find he just doesnt like light? unfortunitly i have ALOT of sunlight in my place and no dark corners. which is great actually...

First i need to know what it is!
Second. his soil seems pretty condensed and a "pit" is kind of sticking out of the soil. there is about 3 inches of room left in the pot. should i ad more soil or just leave him be?

Thanks so much!

I think you have an avocado plant. If he's drooping in the light, check the moisture level in the soil, but try to get some more advice before watering or not, or re-potting.
