MY NAME IS..............is the correct ans [size=30pt]thread close[/size] 3 Likes |
Re: 'my Names Are', Or 'my Name Is' by Nobody: 4:02pm On May 23, 2012 |
"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. 69 Likes |

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. 3 Likes |

12 inches!: @ 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 2 Likes |

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. |

abhosts: 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. 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. 8 Likes 1 Share |
