Changes in JAXB not reflecting in soap response

I have a very simple web service implementation as shown below 

package implementation;

import javax.jws.WebMethod;
import javax.jws.WebService;

@WebService
public class WhatsMyName {

@WebMethod
public String getMyName(){
    return "John Smith";
}

}

I ran a wsgen on my implementation class file to generate JAXB classes and WSDLs ( along with XSD )

The SOAP response when i try calling this method is as below 

<S:Envelope xmlns:S="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
   <S:Body>
      <ns2:getMyNameResponse xmlns:ns2="http://implementation/">
         <return>John Smith</return>
      </ns2:getMyNameResponse>
   </S:Body>
</S:Envelope>

What should i do if i want to generate a response like below 

<S:Envelope xmlns:S="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
   <S:Body>
      <ns2:NameResponse xmlns:ns2="http://implementation/">
         <Name>John Smith</Name>
      </ns2:NameResponse>
   </S:Body>
</S:Envelope>

I did try changing the generated ( by wsgen) JAXB response class to have @XmlType(name = "NameResponse", namespace = "http://implementation/") and @XmlRootElement(name = "NameResponse", namespace = "http://implementation/") but the soap response xml still remains the same.

Whenever i try to change @XmlElement(name = "return", namespace = "") in the same response class to @XmlElement(name = "Name", namespace = ""), i get the below runtime error while executing the publisher that publishes this web service impl.

WebServiceException: class implementation.jaxws.GetMyNameResponse do not have a property of the name return

I just started learning SOAP and i did google this exception but with no fruitful solution.

I think you are looking for the annotation @WebResult.

In this case the code could be 

@WebService
public class WhatsMyName {

@WebMethod
@WebResult(name = "Name")
public String getMyName(){
    return "John Smith";
}
