What is in a name?

The last weeks, I've been put up with perhaps the worlds most toughest challenge. The question might look far too simple to you, but hearing these answers makes me realise how far I am from my goal.
Me : What is your name?
Akshath : Mia
Akshath akshath akshath. I utter the name thrice in each of their ears much like the tradition of punyavachanam. And give it a go again
Me : What is your name?
Avyukth : Vulture (thats the t shirt he was wearing).
I roll my eyes in disbelief.
Once more.
Me : What is your name?
Avyukth : inoonu akshath
What?
Me : What is your name?
Avyukth : two akshath.
Me : ok akshath, What is your name?
Akshath : two Avyukth
Ok. The last time.
Me : what is your name?
Akshath : sebamed

I give up. Henceforth I switch to teaching them Shakespeare, which is perhaps a lot less complex.
"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."

And as for the name itself? Well I'm planning to buy badges.

Cheers,
Hopie
