"My name is" appears to be correct. Because we don't put a coma behind each name. For example, "My name is Akinbade Olusola Esther." But if u were to say "My names are" You should put a coma behind each name as there are more than one name. For example, " My names are " Akinbade,Olusola, and Esther" Nobody does that. So it appears incorrect. My 2cents.

Any 5 year old that has seen a James Bond Movie should know that "My Name is" is correct, but Nigerians really have a funny way of coming up with their own English. Even Lawmakers make this blunder frequently on TV.

@ Bold font
coma is used when differentiating surname from other names for example David, Daniel Stephen. David is the surname in this case .

I think "my name is" is correct

Guys, I have actually heard that both are correct.

"my name is" when you want to introduce yourself officially with just your 1st and last name but "my names are" when you wanna introduce yourself informally by mentioning all your names and prolly nicks too

Godman_n: Guys, I have actually heard that both are correct.

Where?

Walks up to his Onitsha babe with his pointed purple shoes and pink jeans and says, "My names are Achi4u Nairalander". Okoko!

i feel both are correct depending on what follows eg. my name is David and my names are David Olawale,i think both are correct. this is the rule of concord.

my name is ----- ------- ------ is d correct answer

That's why you must watch what you feed the kids. With Nollywood running riot, pidgin firmly entrenched in the mass media and schools perpetually on strike, little wonder most people don't even know how to address themselves. My names are ??. As if you are some sort of manufactured product.
