My name is ... That's the correct way, I hate it when graduates introduce themselves with my names are.... It's disheartening, no be only u waka come, even if your name long like Chinese wall its still a single identifier , and singular. In all the British movies i have seen , never had a cast introduced him or herself with an "are". But naija notin wey una no go hear 2 Likes |

"My name is" is the correct sentence. "My names are" is usually use in aliases and not real name. Example, my name is John Chukwuma... My names are John Chiboy Fine boy Chukwuma. 1 Like |

Let's look at the rules of concord, I mean, agreement. When two things form a unit. Eg. Rice and stew is my best food. Why not rice and stew are my best food? The concord rule says rice and stew form a Unit. Just like bread and butter, they also form a unit. By this rule my names form a single entity, a singular me. So I go with, my name is Tunji Agboola. I stand to be corrected oh. No disrespect please. 3 Likes |

I was taught my names are is wrong. My name is, is the proper way. You are referring to yourself the individual not the number of names you have. Even if you have 5 names, it is one person. Eg my name is Bello John Uche Yomi. it's all referring to one person. If it's more than one person. Their names are Musa, Victor, Femi, Chinedu. 2 Likes |
