You've learned that you can introduce your name with 我是 (wǒ shì) + name. You can use another structure, 我叫 (wǒ jiào) + name. It literally means "I'm called...", and can be understood as "My name is...".
Listen to the audio and answer the question below.
What is the speaker's name?
王华 (wáng huá)
This is not mentioned in the audio.
你好 (nǐ hǎo)
This is a greeting, not a name.
刘明 (liú míng)
明刘 (míng liú)
This reverses the order of the speaker's name.

我叫 (wǒ jiào) means "I am called..." or "My name is...". 叫 (jiào) means "to be called". Here it's used to show identity. For example:
我叫王华 (wǒ jiào wáng huá)。 — I am called Wang Hua, or, my name is Wang Hua.
