How do I make a question in Bash that can read any question given?

I'm making a small dungeon dwelling text game. How can I make a custom response question? I am stuck on just asking for a name. I have:

#!/bin/bash/env bash

clear  
echo "Welcome, Traveler, ..."|pv -qL 10  
clear  
echo "What is your name $NAME?" |pv -qL 10  
read $NAME  
echo "I see.. $NAME?" |pv -qL 10

I don't know how to get it to register the name for later use.

Leave out the dollar sign when calling read. It needs the name of the variable to assign to (NAME) rather than its value ($NAME).

read NAME
