TRY THE FAQ.

Look for the rand() function and learn about pointers, especially char ones.

You can use an array of chars like
char name[30] but that only read up until a space i BELIEVE.

also use a string included in the string library

string name;

and use getline function to input the name.

getline(cin, name, 30);
