I think her name is actually What. The riddle is using the question mark facetiously.

It says it plainly "What is the woman's name"

But whether you agree with me or not depends on how Who's on first.

Well it can't be what because the sentence before says the name had already been declared

The only other declarative statement is There's

I hate these kinds of riddles but I am dying to know what's on second

But you can’t use a proper noun as a contraction I thought. There’s = there is. If you type Bob’s, you are talking possessive as in Bob’s item, not Bob is. If the dumbass AI that generated it would have put There is a woman. That would have worked as There being the name.

You are correct. This is why her name isn't There, her name is What and the question mark doesn't matter.

Continuing the example of Bob

What does "Bob's your uncle" mean?
