My father suffered from brain stroke which was epileptic in nature on 20th Dec 17. CT and MRI revealed nothing adverse. He is taking eptoin 100 mg since then. 20 days back, he faced persistent hiccups. On examination it was found that prostate was enlarged. After medication hiccups didn't come again. However since then my father is not a to name the objects correctly although he seems to identify it and it's usage. Last night we asked him to write our names and he defaulted each time. Please guide us.

By reviewing the history it looks like your father is not of disoriented. The cause of it may be any lesion in brain or metabolic especially hyponatremia. So at present MRI BRAIN and serum sodium level should be done.
