Simple I/O question

[blinksumgreen]

while(true){
string input = "";
cin.get();
getline(cin, input, '\n');
cout << "NAME: " << input << endl;
}

For some reason the code above cuts off the first character entered.

Example:

(Input)

Bill
Tim
John

(Output)

ill
Tim
John

Could someone explain to me why this is and how I may go about fixing it?
