What is the difference between saying "me llamo es Maria" or "Mi nombre es Maria"? Are different versions used in different countries? I want to know the correct way to say it in Spain.

"Me llamo Maria" is "I call myself Maria" and "Mi nombre es Maria" is "My name is Maria" I use "Mi nombre es..."

P.S. You don't say "Me llamo es..." you say "Me llamo..."

You say "Me llamo when someone ask you name, ¿Como te llamas? me llamo Maria. If someone asks your first name you would than answer Mi nombre es Maria.
