Yes, 'name' is the object of the preposition 'in'.
"What's" is the contraction of "What is".
'What' is a Interrogative Pronoun,
'is' is a verb (present singular of the irregular verb "to be")
'in' is a preposition.
'a' is an adjective (but classified along with 'an' and 'the' as article) and
'name' is a noun.

Yes, "name" is the object of the preposition. "What's" is a contraction of the phrase "What is..." with "is" being the verb.
"What" is a noun. I believe "what" is called an indefinite noun, here.
"in" is a preposition. "a" is an article.

What's in a name?
In this,
"What" show interrogative sentence.
"Is" = helping verb.
"in" = preposition.
"Name" = object.
