This has nothing to do with new--you're trying to use a virtual function 
scoped
to class userName with a string.  Rewrite it to a static module-scoped 
function:

class userName {
        string name;

        this(string name)
        {
                this.name = name;
        }
}

void sayHello(string name)
{
        writeln(name);
}

void main()
{

        string name = "Suliman";
        userName username = new userName(name);

        userName.name.sayHello();
}
