“What’s your good name?” ❌ — Is this correct English?
In Indian English, “What’s your good name?” is commonly used when asking someone’s name. But in standard international English, the natural expression is:
✅ “What’s your name?”
“Good name” literally suggests that the person has a good/reputable name, so it is unnecessary when simply asking for someone’s name.
