Can I trade my pet for that title?
The name of the quest is a reference to Shakespeare's play, Romeo and Juliet, where Juliet's love for Romeo is forbidden due to only the fact that he is a Montague, whereas she is a Capulet. This makes Juliet ponder over "what's in a name" that makes something the way it is. How this is relevant to the quest, I don't know. I think it might have something to do with the fact that the Hozen attack the Jinyu merely because they are, well, Jinyu. Also, the fact that the title "What's In A Name Name?" has the word "name" repeated is a reference to how most Hozen have double names (such as Kah Kah, Eekle Eekle, Chi Chi, to name a few).

So, you wanna be a hozen. Huh, wikket? Hozen defend their lands from enemies, like jinyu. Kah Kah fought many jinyu fights, and won them all. Hozen only give name name to good grookers. Go grook jinyu and maybe they call you {name} {name}. Jinyu creepin' down by the river. Ook 'em in the dooker!

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Boom Bait
There. I've plastered your bird guts over my explosives. I call 'em Gut Bombs, patent pending. Since you made friends with these fellas, how about you do the honors? Just light the fuse and throw 'em down by the shoreline!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Scouting Report: Hostile Natives
I bet I know your first question: "What the ook happened to Sergeant Gorrok?" Don't worry, don't worry. He's totally alive. Not dead or anything. <Riko shuffles uncomfortably.> Well, we THINK he's alive, but he ALSO might be very, very dead. <Riko looks into your eyes for approval.> Fine!
