Explanation:

- Option 1: "who" is typically used as a subject pronoun for people. It wouldn't fit here as we're referring to a possessive relationship with the name.

- Option 2: "whom" is used as an object pronoun for people. It is not appropriate because we are discussing possession, not serving as the object of a verb or preposition.

- Option 3: "whose" is a possessive pronoun used to indicate ownership or a relationship between a person and something. In this sentence, it correctly shows that the name belongs to the old man.

- Option 4: "which" is used for objects or animals, not people, making it unsuitable in this context.
