Garak's name is Garak

Today at church a man introduced himself to Garak and asked him "what's your name?" Garak shook the man's hand and responded "Garak's name is Garak."  There you have it.  Just to be clear about it.  This response is "classic Garak" in that it also demonstrates Garak's tendency to be quite verbose.  If you ask him a yes or no question, 9.5 times out of 10 he will reply with a paragraph --not much of which you can decipher but-- most of it is trying rephrase what you just asked him and give reasons for and against and explanations for why he does or does not agree with what ever you just said.  If you ask him to clarify and give you a yes or no answer he looks up at you bewildered and replies "yes or no."  Good times...
incidentally when asked his name by the same man Hayden replied "John, Johnny, Johnny-Hayden" so he is a bit less sure of quite who he is.  more on that later
