Changing llSay output

Hi all, I'm new to scripting in LSL, and am having a problem figuring out why I can't fix the output from the llSay command to eliminate the word "Object:" using the following code which creates the string shown after that.

llSay(0, "Image: " + name);

this creates the following line in the local chat:
Object: Image: Inspiration_001

hence the dilema. I would like to either remove or be able to alter the word Object.

If removed, then no problem. If altered, then it should be able to be set to a descriptive or the Actual NAME of the containing object. Could anyone guide me in doing one of these two options?

Any and all help would be appreciated!

Second Life makes us do dirty dirty things.

CheatSay(integer channel, string s)
{
    list words = llParseStringKeepNulls(s, [" "], []);
    string oldName = llGetObjectName();
    llSetObjectName(llList2String(words, 0));
    llSay(channel, "/me " + llDumpList2String(llDeleteSubList(words, 0, 0), " "));
    llSetObjectName(oldName);
}

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        string name = "meep";

        CheatSay(0, "");
        CheatSay(0, name);
        CheatSay(0, "Image: " + name);
        CheatSay(0, "yip yip");
    }
}

a sligtly simpler (but less absolute) approach is to simply set the object name to "", which will give you a space before your text when used with the "/me " added on the front (because /me requires a space after it)

on the plus side it will avoid possible coloring the first word wrong or linking to it in some clients.

ex:

default{
  state_entry(){
    string vStrNom = llGetObjectName();
    llSetObjectName( "" );
    llSay( 0, "/meImage: " + name );
    llSetObjectName( vStrNom );
  }
}

or you can just do away with all that silly reading and setting the name, and have the object be named "" from the beginning...
