I still don't understand why this function: function checkName(input, response) needed to take an input and a response. Why couldn't it be broken up into 2 functions?

  You're right. It could be two functions. Making it one was simply a design choice. If you were to have lots of different actions on a page resulting in an xmlhttprequest call, it can be a lot tidier just to have a single function to handle each action.

  
  If using two functions works better for you, there's no reason not to do it that way.
