The answer is probably
Ass(hole)
I am a name for many people:
That is most certainly a frequently used insult.
I am tangible, but not quite so:
Well, one cannot touch a hole technically. But one can touch an ass (probably shouldn't though).
Give me a kiss, my rival:
We all know the old saying: "Kiss my ass!"
You might find the answer laughable:
This is sure not a classical answer for a riddle ;)

Bill or Will(iam)?
- it's a name.
- a bill is tangible, but one's will may not be?
- one's will can go against what's best for them

Could your name be
Love?
I am a name for many people,
Love is popular last name, one of the famous bearers of it being Courtney Love.
I am tangible, but not quite so.
Love is an intangible emotion, yet Rod Stewart claims to be able to 'Touch Love'.
give me a kiss, my rival,
This could be a reference to the song 'Love Your Enemies' by Smiley Kids.
You might find the answer laughable.
The song 'Funny How Love Is' by Queen could be the link here.
