Answer 1

I will not suggest you to use the machine translator on this one as I have checked and it's yielding weird results ..

But in future please try the translator first (as Ray has suggested above that per the forum rules atleast an attempt is required at the end of the questioner (however right or wrong it may be) as the best way to learn is to try for yourself first using any tool or tools available at your disposal (including the machine translators and search engines) ..

OK ,, getting back to the point .. "Como se llama" is the usual way of asking for some one's name in Spanish ,, it literally means "how do you call yourself" or "how are you called" etc. but is equal to the English expression "What is your name ? " or "May I know your name" ,, so in your sentence it translates to .. What are their (respective) names ?? Like for example a new teacher is asking the monitor in the class ,, referring to the rest of the students "What are their names?? (Como se llaman ellos) ..

And you can also use the form "Cual es tu/su nombre ??" or talking about the context in your sentence :Cuales son los nombres de ellos or Cuales son sus nombres ??

Get it amigo ?? You might want to look up and go through the videos available on SD for the basic greetings etc. to equip yourself with such expressions .. Best of luck
