Could somebody answer the question "What's your name?" with "It's John" or would it be better to say "My name is John" ?

if anyone says 'what's your name?' refuse to answer. When asking for someone's name, especially for the first time, it is 'what is your name?' - you have no idea who the other person might be to risk using abbreviated speech.– JMPCommented Mar 5, 2017 at 15:10

Don't refer to yourself with "it". Use "I" (I am John).– user3169Commented Mar 5, 2017 at 20:57

@user3169 Yes, but by all means refer to your name as it, though!– Araucaria - Not here any more.Commented Mar 6, 2017 at 16:13
