Why would a name be “huge”? This is the core mystery of the manga. Based on fan-sourced whispers (from Pixiv artists in the #doujinshi community), the plot is rumored to go like this:
A high school girl lives with her older brother who suffers from idiopathic hypersomnia (he is constantly drowsy - Utouto). He never remembers anyone's face. One day, she asks him to write his own name on a school form. When he wakes up, he scribbles down a 100-character long ancient dragon incantation instead of his real name. Everyone thinks it's a joke, but the name turns out to be a curse that literally grows larger on the paper the more people say it.
Hence: Maji de Dekain Name – The name physically becomes huge.
Standard Japanese has “dekai” (でかい – huge), “dekinai” (できない – cannot do), or “dekain” as a dialect? More likely, this is a typo or a deliberate stylization. If we treat “n” as a sentence-ending particle (often masculine or dialectal), “dekai n” could mean “it’s huge.” So “maji de dekain” = “seriously, it’s huge.”
Independent creators often use quirky titles. A fan comic on Pixiv or Niconico Seiga might be called Uchi no Utouto-chan to Dekai Yamaimo (うちのうとうとちゃんとでかい山芋) – “My Sleepy-chan and the Giant Mountain Yam.” The Spanish “ñame” could be a deliberate exotic touch.
First, let’s fix the obvious typo. The word “ñame” is Spanish for yam (a vegetable). That doesn’t fit in a Japanese manga title. The intended character is almost certainly “名前” (Namae) meaning “name.” The “ñ” likely came from an auto-correct error on a smartphone keyboard when the user tried to type “na” (Spanish keyboard defaults to ñ).
Thus, the correct Japanese phrase is: 「うちのうとうと、マジででかい名前」 Romaji: Uchi no Utouto, Maji de Dekai Namae English: "Our Drowsy/Woozy One Has a Seriously Huge Name"
