CODE

// channel to say the name on
integer channel = 123;

string find;

default {
    on_rez(integer start) {
        llResetScript();
    }

    state_entry() {
        llListen(channel, "", llGetOwner(), "");
    }
    
    listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message) {
        find = llToLower(message);
            
        llSensor("", "", AGENT, 96.0, PI);
    }
    
    sensor(integer sensed) {
        integer i;
        
        for (i = 0; i < sensed; i++) {
            string name = llToLower(llDetectedName(i));
            
            if (llSubStringIndex(name, find) == 0) {
                llOwnerSay(llDetectedName(i));

                return;
            }
        }
        
        llOwnerSay("Avatar not found.");
    }
    
    no_sensor() {
        llOwnerSay("Avatar not found.");
    }
}

string person;

default
{
state_entry()
{
llListen(0,"",llGetOwner(),"";);
}

listen(integer channel,string name,key id,string message)
{
person = message;
llSensor("",NULL_KEY,AGENT,96.0,TWO_PI);
}

sensor(integer num_detected)
{
integer i;
for (i = 0;i < num_detected;i++)
{
list temp = llParseString2List(llDetectedName(i),[" "],[]);
if (person == llList2String(temp,0))
{
llOwnerSay(llDetectedName(i));
}
}
}
}

this is the easiest way i can thin of to do it :)

here's a further question about this. How to store the detected name in a global variable?
I declared a global string (called gName) and tried in the sensor event to do "gName = DetectedName (i);" , but when I test it back where the llSensor call is, gName is a null string
