Error with System.in reading prgm

 import java.io.StringBufferInputStream;
import java.io.*;
import java.lang.Character;
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.lang.String;
import java.lang.Exception;
class NameChange {
public static void main(String args[]) throws java.io.IOException{
int Yay = 0;
int counter  = 0;
String inputString = "YAY";
BufferedReader consoleIn = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));       
System.out.println("Enter Name as Last, First I. ");
inputString = consoleIn.readLine();
do{
try{
if(counter ==1){
System.out.println("Enter Name as Last, First I. ");
inputString = consoleIn.readLine();
counter = counter - 1;
}
if(inputString.length() == 1){
if(counter == 0){
System.out.println("That was Not a Name, If you wish to Quit press q or Q");
counter = counter + 1;
char Answer = (char)System.in.read();
System.in.read();
Answer = Character.toUpperCase(Answer);
if(Answer == 'Q'){
Yay = 5;
}
}
}
if(inputString.length() > 1){
String outputString[] =null;
outputString = inputString.split(",");
System.out.println(outputString[1]+" "+ outputString[0]);
}
 
}catch(Exception e){

}
}while(Yay == 0);
}
} 

Thats my code, I tried to do some tests, I first typed 3, so I get to the "That was Not a Name, If you wish to Quit press q or Q" part, But To test it will loop after I press d, instead of Q or q, But IT gives "Enter Name as Last, First I. " And I cant type anything All it gives is this _

To help you see what is happening in your code you need to display the values of the variables. Put some System.out.println() statements in the code that display the contents of all the variables so you can see how they are changed.

Questions regarding your code:
what is the purpose of the variable: counter? Why do you change its value?
What is Yay used for? The name doesn't mean anything. Would a better name be loopControl?
