    Translated literally it says "Name of who?", right? Which in English we'd say as "Whose name?"

      Could you use this as "What is your name?" ?

        Possible context: someone says "that's his name", but you don't know who that person is talking about. You might reply with this question

          Can it also be "What name?"
