To be consistent, you should probably have

Name : Ada.Strings.Unbounded.Unbounded_String;

As others have pointed out, there's nothing related to OOP in your 
example, Ada 0X will support the Object.Operation notation, and the 
pointers, while perhaps needed in C++, are unnecessary in Ada. This 
eliminates the many possibilities for error associated with manually 
allocating and deallocating memory.

What is clear from your example is that C++ uses the same construct for 
encapsulation, information hiding, and OOP. Ada separates these concepts.

Other than that, nice troll.
