This is what Spanish and Italian do normally. "Mi chiamo" and "me llamo" both translate to "I call myself."
Other languages probably do the same, but I'm not qualified to speak about anything else.
- TeMPOraL 11y agoIn Polish we use either "mam na imię X" ("I have the name X") or "nazywam się X" ("I call myself X"). Honestly, I only just realized that the latter form is literally what we're talking about - for my whole life I just had it stored in my head as a phrase meaning "me.name == X".
- RyanMcGreal 11y agoFrench is similar: Je m'appelle Ryan (I call myself Ryan).
- Scarblac 11y agoDutch has a specific verb ("heten") just for "to be named". Jij heet veridies.
