❌❌ MY NAMES ARE❌❌
It’s considered wrong or nonstandard to say “My names are …” in English because of how the word “name” is used:
🎯🎯“NAME IS USUALLY SINGULAR FOR INE PERSON".
☑️When you introduce yourself, even if you have a first, middle, and last name, English treats the whole thing together as your one name (your full name).
That’s why we say:
✅ “My name is Precious Galadima.”
And not:
❌ “My names are Precious Dede Galadima
🎯🎯The Plural: “NAMES” is used differently.
It’s correct when referring to:
✔️Multiple people: “Their names are Peter and Paul.”
✔️Aliases/nicknames: “His names are Shadow, Blade, and Ghost.”
✔️Different items/things: “The names are on the list.”
✨ So unless you’re deliberately listing nicknames or aliases, the correct and natural form is:
👉 “My name is …”
