The Spanish verb "ser" would be used to ask the question "What is your name?"
except to Spanish speaker would ever ask it that way. The only logical answer would be "It's a name."
I apologize for the confusion. You are correct that the literal translation of "What is your name?" in Spanish would not typically be used by Spanish speakers. Instead, they commonly ask "¿Cómo te llamas?" which translates to "What do you call yourself?" or "What's your name?"
