My name is ...

Our names are ...


Although it may seem easier for nonnative German speakers to say, "Mein Name ist. . ."  ("My name is. . ."), native Germans rarely will communicate in that way.  Instead, they will say or write, "Ich heiße.." ("I am called". . .).


"Ich heiße ...."   
"I am called . . . "

"Wir heißen...."
"We are called . . . "

"Sie heißen ...."   
"They are called . . . . 
"Sie heißen ...."   
"You  (formal) are called . . . . 

Note:  

ß stands for sharp "ss" (also called eszett).  Your keyboard probably doesn't include ß so you may want to substitute "ss" for it.

   I am called Berta.


  "Ich heiße Berta."
Practice spelling here:
 
  

We are called 

Berta and Hilde.

"Wir heißen 
Berta und Hilde."
