So I know that Chinese people typically say 我叫 to introduce themselves

. Is it also common to say 我是 to tell someone your name? Or does it matter which one is used?

normally,people would use 我叫 to introduce themselves(talking about their name),using我是could be about their identity,and some people who think they should be known by the one they are talking to ,they would also use我是to introduce their name.as a matter of fact,your name is also you identity in a sense

Although this is a language disease, everyone can understand it, and even many Chinese say so

To be honest…I don’t think there’s a different between 我叫and我是，in the city where I lived in we use both 我叫and 我是，it is the same

我是 Is used when you will say something the other side knows， For example， You can introduce yourself by saying我是jackie chan， Because everyone knows Jackie chan， but if your name Is not known by the other side. You can only say 我叫
