Hi there,

the issue you’re having is that the NLU is not able to correctly pick up the `name` entity from the provided text. It is able to correctly classify that input text falls into `inform_name` intent but it is not able to pick it up.

Here you have a few possible routes to take. You can add more `name` examples inside of the `inform_name` intent or you could add a regex featurizer ([Components](https://rasa.com/docs/rasa/components/#regexfeaturizer)) in combination with a name lookup table ([NLU Training Data](https://rasa.com/docs/rasa/nlu-training-data/#lookup-tables)). The Regex featurizer + lookup table approach requires fewer examples in the intent itself.

Try it for yourself and see what works better for your use case.

Regards, Nikola
