אני - I Am (informal, used more often)
שמי - My name is (formal, archaic)
אני צביקה = I am Tzvika
אני עייף = I am tired
שמי צביקה = My name is Tzvika
שמי עייף = nope, doesn't work.

The most common way of telling your name is: קוראים לי, literaly means "[they] call me", but it's a fixed expression used to tell one's name.
e.g. קוראים לי רמי. (My name is Ramy)

Shemi (my name is)
