You just declared a character pointer that doesn't point at anything. You need to allocate space for your string. The most common method would be to allocate space on the stack, IE:
char Name[50];
Remember a char pointer by itself is just a place to put an address to where the real memory is. You still have to get a block of memory and store the address in your pointer. The code above creates an array of Names on the stack and you can use Name to store up to 49 chars plus a null terminal.
Alternatively, for variable length strings use std::string.
