I am learning japanese, but I am stuck on something, can someone please translate this for me?

Her name is .... (the girl is a friend of mine, but not my girlfriend)
Her name is .... (the girl is my girlfriend)
What is her name?

His name is .... (the boy is a friend of mine, but not my boyfriend)
His name is .... (the boy is my boyfriend)
What is his name?

And if there is something I need to keep in mind while using these kind of sentences, please tell me

thank you very much, domo arigato gozaimazu
 
Sorry my friend we don't do your homework for you on this forum. If you first give it a try on your own.. then somebody may choose to assist you.

If your wondering about the relationships, a sentence would be the structured the same no matter who the subject. Whether it is of someone in your family, significant other, friend, teacher or whomever.

Hopefully you have learned already how to say your name. ;-)

yes, i already know that

i'll try to translate it myself, please tell me if i'm wrong
I asked this because i don't know if there are differences when the relationships are different
I will only write romanji, i only have a romanji keyboard

Her name is .... (the girl is a friend of mine, but not my girlfriend)
Kanajo-no namae wa .... desu

Her name is .... (the girl is my girlfriend)
Kanajo-no namae wa .... desu

What is her name?
Kanajo-no namae wa nani desu ka

His name is .... (the boy is a friend of mine, but not my boyfriend)
Kare-no namae wa .... desu

His name is .... (the boy is my boyfriend)
Kare-no namae wa .... desu

What is his name?
Kare-no namae wa nani desu ka

Kare-no namae wa nani desu ka

Your translation is all correct, just "what" before desu is pronounced "nan" instead of nani.
i.e.
Kare/kanojo no namae wa nan desu ka.

As Elizabeth said, there's no difference in sentence structure depending on the relationship. But now I think I understood part of your question!
Maybe you're thinking about the word "kare" and "kanojo", right?
It could be just a pronoun to refer to male/female as well as boyfriend/girlfriend.
If you want to make clear difference, put possesive in front of the word.

e.g.
kanojo no namae wa Tomoko desu.
(Her name is Tomoko)
Ken no kanojo no namae wa Tomoko desu.
(Ken's girlfriend's name is Tomoko.)

kare no namae wa Ken desu.
(His name is Ken)
watashi no kare no namae wa Ken desu.
(My boyfriend's name is Ken.)

Hope this helps. :)

FYI, kareshi often connotes "someone's boyfriend."
 
Two things:

1) Romaji. Not "Romanji."

2) We *all* have romaji keyboards. It's not the keyboard, it's the software. If you have a PC, you have an IME input that converts your romaji input to kana and kanji, and if you have a Mac, it does that natively. All you have to do is enable foreign languages.
