My comment:

If dealing with very young children, you might say 'what's the doggie's name?.

SOMETHING WENT WRONG. I NEVER ASKED TO TRANSLATE "COME SI CHIAMA IL CANE". IN FACT I ENTERED "COLORI A TEMPERA", AND I RECEIVED AN ANSWER FOR COLORI A TEMPERA (IN FRENCH IN PLACE OF THE REQUESTED ITALIAN) VIA EMAIL EVEN THOUGH THE QUESTION DOES NOT SHOW ON THE CONGES-QUESTIONS PAGE. GO FIGURE! SORRY GUYS. FERRUCCIO

There is a difference in Italian between "come si dice" (how do you say..) and "come si chiama" (what is the ...name) however people might say "come si chiama" meaning, in fact, come si dice, that is why I asked for more explanations. http://www.omniglot.com/language/phrases/howtosay.htm

how do you say dog?

My comment:

non capisco se si tratta di una domanda, un affermazione oppure una richiesta di traduzione (tipo come si dice cane in inglese? how do you say dog in English?) oppure ancora una domanda specifica (come si chiama il tuo cane what is your dog's name?)

that's not the translation. Look, ''come si chiama il cane?'' in Spanish is ''como se llama el perro?'', in English we say ''what's the dog's name?'' :)
