Oh goddammmnitttt. I seem to be doing this a lot today. Look below
for the extra addition to the code I posted.

Here's my contribution anycase:

name = raw_input("Try again: ")

Hope this helps.

GRRRRRRRR.
Need something more straightforward, e.g., a wrapped one-liner:
>>> def guess(n=3): print ("You're right!", 'No more tries for
you!!!')[n-1 in
... (x for x in xrange(n) for t in [raw_input('Guess my name:
')=='Ben']
... if not t or iter([]).next())]
Okay, now in my opinion, that's just too complex to give to a newbie as
a suggested implementation. :)

I suppose this would be far too easy to understand, then:
pr =['Guess my name', 'Wrong, try again', 'Last chance']
for p in pr:
name = raw_input(p+": ")
if name == "Ben":
print "You're right!"
break
else:
print "Loser: no more tries for you"
