What's Your Name?

What's Your Name? is the third studio album by Adam Sandler, released in 1997.

The album received mixed reviews from critics. Allmusic senior editor and critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote: "Sandler may display a few new tricks, but it's not enough to win new fans, even if What's Your Name will satisfy his legions of followers."[1] James P. Wisdom of Pitchfork stated: "What's My Name is typical Sandler as we love him, but none of these tracks compare to his last two records."
