This is because you have no punctuation in your first template.
The output will be “My name is (user’s name) how about your name”
This doesn’t match the <that> of “how about your name” and so the 2nd category will never be called.
You will either need a full stop after My name is <get name=“name”> or change your <that> to “MY NAME IS * HOW ABOUT YOUR NAME”
You should also remove the question mark from your first pattern and I would put a full stop at the end of your second template. Also the bot will reply with the user’s name as you have used <get name=“name”> instead of <bot name=“name”>. Finally, once the user tells the bot his/her name, your second category will not store it.
I’ve taken the liberty of rewriting your categories.
<category>
<pattern>WHAT IS YOUR NAME</pattern>
<template>My name is <bot name="name"/>.
<condition name="user">
<li value="unknown">How about your name?</li>
</condition>
</template>
</category>
<category>
<pattern>IS ^</pattern>
<that>HOW ABOUT YOUR NAME</that>
<template>Nice to meet you <set name="user"><star/></set>.</template>
</category>
