Not outputting full thing

[ExSanity]

So for the longest time i had to experiment around and find out how to just get the char thing to work and i find no where how to get a full word to display have i overlooked something or what?

When i type the name "JIM" it says Welcome J not JIM
Any Help is Appreciated

// ConsoleApplication3.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib> 
using namespace std;

int value1, value2, result, status;
char choice, namespace1, namespace2, namespace3, name, yes;
int main()
{
	system("title Quick Attack Game");
	system("color 4");
	cout << "Welcome to The Game!\n";
	cout << "Please enter the first 3 letters of your name\n";
	cin >> name;
	cout << "Welcome"<<name<< "To the quick attack game!\n\n";
	cout << "Ready to begin?\n";
	cin >> choice;
	if (choice = yes)
		cout << "Ok, Let's Begin!\n";


}

char choice, namespace1, namespace2, namespace3, name, yes;

Should be :

char name[9999];
char choice, namespace1, namespace2, namespace3, yes;

Or even better:

#include <string>
string name;
