Were I a guard, I would rather be lazy than suffer the severe mental trauma which a conversation with Burk inevitably entails.

He fell through the sky in a blanket with no name, felt good to be part of the rain....

He had to think about it in panel 5. Normally pausing like that would indicate that a someone is lying, but over the course of the comic I don't think we've ever seen Burk lie.
Maybe he's unfamiliar with the question, and needs a moment to parse it. There's certainly some level of culture clash going on, but what kind of culture would be unfamiliar with the concept of names?
An alternative interpretation: you know how some JRPGs have you pick a name mid-conversation? And then they repeat the name back to you and ask if you're sure? This page could be exactly that. (And if we assume Burk's eye sparkle is comparable to Tobi's eyes turning blue, panel 2 could be him looking at his "pick a name" screen.)
