Use 

String name = console.readLine("What is your name? ");

Remember, anything that has more than one word in it, it will use Capital Letter for all the letters at the beginning of the word except for the first word.

In this case, 'readLine' has two words, so the second word's first letter would be capital letter. (Its because of naming conventions)
