    - whats your name?
    - what is your name?
    - what's your name?
    - what do i call you?
    - tell me your name

- intent: give_name
  examples: |
    - my name is [ikeyan](name)
    - [ikeyan](name)

    - [ikeyan](name) is my name

I was able to figure it out. Had to change the slot type to “text” and it’s mapping type to “from_entity”
