packages are traditionally all lower case. e.g. "greeting".

Further they should be globally unique by including your domain name,
e.g.  "com.amrollahi.saeed.greeting". That way you can share code with
others without worrying about package name clashes.

Main is not a very descriptive name for a class. Try "Greeting".

The code itself works fine, though it is a "vortope" translation of C
rather than idiomatic Java. You forgot to close your stream.

An fairly easy extension is a while EOFException loop to handle more
than one name.

Thank you for compiling and running your code before asking help.  So
many newbies fail to do that.  You also explained what your code was
supposed to do.  These are lessons that seem almost impossible to get
into newbie heads.

One of the great annoyances in programming derives from the irregularity
of English spelling especially when you have international teams.  
I want to find a method or variable, but I don't know precisely
how its is spelled or worded. English is only approximately phonetic.  
Letters are randomly doubled.  The dictionary often lists variant spellings.
British, Canadian and American spellings differ.I would like to see an 
experiment where variable names were spelled in a simplified English, where 
there were no double letters.I also think you could add a number of rules 
about composing variable names so that a variable name for something would
be highly predictable. You would also need automated enforcement of the 
rules as well as possible.
