I kind of like your idea Hal, kind of seperates things in a way I'm used to.
However if you want it to work the way you were thinking originally why not
just use list functions instead of the gettoken? You could do it like this
and it would work as originally hoped.
<cfset myName = "hal.helms">
#LISTFIRST(myName,'.')#
#LISTLAST(myName,'.')#
<cfset myName = "hal">
#LISTFIRST(myName,'.')#
#LISTLAST(myName,'.')#
