Your "given" name

by Sunitha
(chennai)




Is this the right way of asking someone what their name is? "What is your good name?"


I am assuming that you want to know how to ask someone what their name is and if that is the case then we wouldn't ask "What is your good name?". We could ask What is your given name?, which is referring to the name that you were given at birth. For example if people call me Di...someone could ask me what my given name is. In that case I would say Diana.

I hope that is what you were asking. If not just leave a comment and I'll try to explain further.

What is your good name?
by: Anonymous

Is it correct to ask someone - what is your good name? No one has a bad name as every person loves there name, so please clarify on this.
