I would only—possibly—accept this if you're asking what her name

This seems more reasonable. I'm still not sure I accept the idea that 
because the pronomial question words can be used verbally means they 
must be able to accept verb suffixes.

I am far more comfortable allowing noun suffixes on the pronomial 
question words. I see no problem with that at all.
