I don't want to look too grumpy, but I'd say that a question like «How can I say "what's your name?” in Italian?» does not show even a modicum of attempt to find an answer on one's own. A sentence like this can be found in any elementary phrasebook, online and elsewhere. But, in my attempt to minimise grumpiness, I'd rather have a second (and third and...) opinion.

    That's certainly a troubling question, but more troubling is the fact that it had a score of 5 at time of this comment. Use your downvotes, everyone!

You don't look grumpy, DaG. We've discussed it before here and here and unequivocally decided that such questions are off-topic.

I edited also our "on-topic" help page, clarifying the issue once and for all. Please feel free to edit or suggest other edits to that page.
