Are these sentence grammatically correct?
"what's name?" and "what in name?" are grammatically correct? I guess it should be "what is your name?
Thanks.

What's name and what in name are not grammatically correct. What's name could be what's a name, and what in name could be what is in a name, but if you're trying to say what is your name, that's the only way to say it.

What's your name? What's in a name? You have to use complete sentences that make sense, one way to help is to say them out loud. If it doesn't sound like the way you would say it then it's not correct.

"What's name?" and "What in name?" are grammatically incorrect sentences so you are correct. "What is your name?" although I really can't explain why.

Asker,
"what is your name" = correct
"what in a name" = incorrect should be "what's in a name"
Helps?
