You need to quote the usage of $1 in the find command:

find . -name "$1" -depth -print

Same for the echo command.

You still need to quote wildcards on the command line when you invoke
the script, too.  Either quote ' or " should work on the command line.
Only double quotes " will do the right thing inside the script.
