Agreed. An equivalent C++ program to the proposed Java version which 
reads all input until a \newline\ is found would be something like:

***

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main() {
     std::cout << "Your name? ";
     std::string name;
     std::getline(std::cin, name);
     std::cout << "Hello, " << name << "!\n";
}

***

As a side note, the OP's code unnecessarily included /using/ 
declarations (names were already used in qualified form) and /endl/ 
(where '\n' should have sufficed). But I digress.

Regards,
