I don`t think it would be strange to just ask "Is that your name?", or "What is your name?".

Ah thanks, I guess I will.
You've been really helpful Nyororin (and everyone else!)
Kind of on the topic, I'm looking to teach English and be taught Japanese on an ad hoc basis while in Tokyo, also just to make lots of friends and connections (cause I wanna be an English teacher for Japanese people eventually, not necessarily in Japan). Any ideas on the best way of doing this in Tokyo? I've already made some connections with people just through word of mouth, but places to go to meet people? Community centres round the center of Tokyo? Thanks <3
