How do you say my name is whatever in French?

Je m'appelle [your name]

Let's break it down:

* Je - I

* m'appelle - is called (literally "calls myself")

* [your name] - your name

Examples:

* Je m'appelle Marie. (My name is Marie.)

* Je m'appelle Jean. (My name is Jean.)

Important Note: In French, the name always comes after the verb "m'appelle."
