o namae no messeeji wa ire masu ka
[oh nah-mah-eh noh mess-eh-ji wah ee-reh mahss kah]
💬 Usage Tip: In [お名前のメッセージ], [の] links two nouns so the first describes the second: literally a "name message," meaning a message with someone's name in it. You can reuse this pattern with [誕生日のケーキ] for "birthday cake."
