question getplayername

[iiv03]

is there a way to get players name like this?

name players example : bot , robot, unknown

/give bot robot unknown 9999

i mean comes the name of players at according to the mentioning of the names, meaning like if you mentioned 5 names or 2 names depending on the name you want
