What do you mean "have you a name yet"?  My machine is called
"scorpio", but that's not an official internet name or anything. 
My real internet address is avon{at}rosebay.matra.com.au, but in various
places I have configured my machine to be scorpio.rosebay.matra.com.au.  Or
do you mean a userid?  I haven't created a Udieterm yet, do you want to get
UUCP from me (didn't you say you were going to move to John's system, or
are you going to dual-poll?).  Oh, and lastly, sometimes I am called
"Paul". BFN.  Paul.
