I write:

>Corey."

But that would be saying "My name, not my parrot, not my spam, is Corey".
Apologies for the silly example. To emphasize the actual name, which is
really what the other person wants to know, you'd put the {-'e'} on that..
{pongwIj'e' 'oH *Corey*'e'}
Maybe some people aren't used to this, as the word order is then the same
as in English...
