In this verse, "Puddin" is used as a first name and the rhyming word "Tane" is used as a last name {though this word is seldom found as a last name}.

Imo, person #2 is giving a snappy come-back to the question that person #1 is asking. In other words person #2 is saying "{{It's} None of your business {what my name is}.

However, I think the confrontational spirit of this "Puddin Tane" rhyme has largely faded. Instead, it's become more "irritating" than otherwise, especially if person #1 decides to follow the suggestion of the second person and ask the question "What's your name" again, and again, and again. Then it becomes a repeated loop almost like one of those "knock knock/whose there" jokes or one of those "You remind me of a man/what man/the man with the power/what power/the power of hoodoo/who do?/ you do/ do what/remind me of a man" etc etc etc.

"Puddin Tane" is largely considered a children's rhyme now. But I don't think that it originated as a children's rhyme, but was said by adults to adults, teens to teens-and then children to children {copying off of their elders}.

Pudintane, Pudintane is a very fine name
I know you had to change and I am to blame

You hit it big I couldn't handle the acclaim
Always treated me good the classiest dame

Make sure its on the stars you have your aim
I'll always carry your flame, my Pudintane.

A rose is still a rose... So yes, I'd still love you. There's so much more to you than just a name.
