Isn't "My name" said: "No namae wa / Watashi wa" lol I stopped studying japanese in 2012
Short breakdown:
It said オレの名は「ボボ」 which is read "ore no na wa Bobo"
ore is a rude (kinda anime-ish) way to say "me" (an alternative to watashi).
no is possessive particle (turning me to my or mine)
na is another way of saying namae, with some differences. (artistic freedom, given name instead of full name, sounds more poetic? or maybe just cool for someone addressing themselves as "ore" ;) )
wa is the topic particle
Bobo is his name...

Those things you said:
(Watashi / boku / ore) no namae wa XX (desu) is basically just saying "my name is XX", in a polite way (not if you use ore).
Watashi wa XX (desu) is saying "I am XX"

Both can be used, along with many many more ways, to tell someone what your name is or what you want to be called :)

Oh, so is like english equivalent of: "The name is" or "Call me" or "I go by"

おれ isn't rude. it's a mature way of referring to one's self. A kid will say ぼく but an adult will most likely say おれ.

It's not rude, true, but very informal and can be considered rude depending on how you say it.
Boku is used by both kids and adults, ore is used by teenagers and some older men. Depending on the situations of course.
