I tink d correct one is "my name is"

tutaboi:

So how would you answer the question then when asked "what are your names" Sir

Can you read the last paragraph of what you quoted?

ruffp: Very good question. I've always wondered y people use 'are'. The correct thing is 'is'. All the items as written (name,middle name,surname etc) together constitute ur name. That is what uniquely identifies you. What confuses people is the fact that we tend to have names to fulfil certain things e.g culture So most nigerians have an added name that reflect their ethnicity. The bottomline remains...whether u have 2,3 or 4 different entities,they all (put together) constitute ur name as such the use of 'are' is wrong as u cant have 2 different names. Afterall if u use a toyota camry ce and u were asked the name of ur car, u wouldnt say 'my cars' names are Toyota Camry CE. cuz its the totality that identifies the car u drive.....#MyTake

This is why I like Nairaland. ...so much to learn.

My name is the correct ans. Not my name are...come to think of the fruit of the spirit in the bible they use (is) for all the fruit of spirit..for the fruit of spirit is love,kindness,gentleness.....

My name is Bond, James Bond

I wanted to correct you earlier, but am holding back. You must have realized your mistake by now.

rawpadgin: they are both correct.
if u re to include ur middle name, surname & last name u re to use 'are'
if its just one name u re to use 'is'

example- my name is okoronkwo
my names are okoronkwo m. Phillips
