Sure, it could be either. That's how you would say it if you're introducing yourself. "Me llamo Ben." But the way he said it, he's just sort of naming himself. It's like saying, "My last name is..." except he used it for first name. In conversational Spanish, I believe you would say "me llamo" but in the case where this is an English speaking board, and I'm sure no one cares enough to look up what's actually correct, "mi nombre es" is fine by me. Of course this is a B- Spanish student speaking.

Good point. I don't do so well in Spanish myself.
