I'm supposing you're obtaining user input by using:

cin >> name;

If you are, I suggest you read this thread. The problem with cin is it only takes input till a whitespace is found, so you're only using the first word.

Sorry, I didn't test it before. This does work:

I changed/added a few things(Placed comments). Though I suggest you try structuring your code a bit better.
I'm not sure this is what you wanted, but it appears to be..
