Which one is correct and am I correct?
1. I bought a book which name is xxx.
2. I bought a book, which name is xxx.
问题补充:
I thought both of them are correct.
The first means that I maybe bought many a lot of books. one of them named XXX.
The second one means I only bought one book name XXX.
Am I correct?

John,
Neither is correct because you have not used the relative pronoun "which" properly.
If you want to use a relative pronoun here you can use "whose".
1. I bought a book whose name is xxx.
2. I bought a book, whose name is xxx.
Other possibilities are -- I bought a book of which the name is xxx."-- I bought a book which is named xxx.--

Am I correct?
1. I bought a book whose name is xxx. = I bought a book named xxx. This refers to only one book. The relative pronoun "whose" introduces a clause that defines the book. No comma is used.
1. I bought a book, whose name is xxx. = I bought a book and its name by the way is xxx.
In this sentence "whose" is a non-defining relative pronoun introducing a clause that gives "extra" information about the book. The comma indicates that it is extra information.

I bought a book called .................
I bought a book titled....................

They're both wrong.
I bought a book called "...".

neither are correct and both describe buying only a copy of book.
to sound casual you may go like this:
"I bought a book called xxx."
"I bought a lot of books. (title) xxx, xxx, and xxx." > here you may apply a full stop at the end of "books" then enumerate their titles.

Nope, they both actually mean the same thing. One just has correct punctuation and one does not.
Your sentence would be better phrased: I bought a book, which is named xxx.
If you wanted to say I bought books, one which is named xxx, you would say "I bought a lot of books, including xxx."
