Unhappy If statement (yes or no)

I have the program:

#!/bin/ksh
echo Please enter yes or no
read n
typeset -l n
if [[ $n = yes ]]
then
echo My name
exit
else
echo delete my name
fi

Question:

How can I make the program accept only the word "yes" or "no" otherwise it will ask the user to re-enter?

Thanks!
