Llamo -> first person singular.
Gusta -> third person singular.
The form of the verb agrees with the SUBJECT of the sentence. The constructions of these two verbs are different:
YO (subject first person singular) me llamo (verb first person singular) Pedro.
La pizza (subject third person singular) me (indirect object) gusta (verb third person singular).
This is a tricky syntax point. I hope this explanation helps!

Los dos pertenecen a la primera conjugación cantar, gustar
Yo canto / gusto
Tu cantas / tu gustas
El canta / el gusta
Yo canto una canción => sujeto yo => primera persona.
A mi me gusta esa canción => sujeto esa canción => tercera persona

"Llamo" is the verb "llamar" first person / present simple: "Me llamo María"
"Gusta" is the verb "gustar" first person / present simple: "Me gusta correr"
Those are verbs, not adjectives.
The adjectives can be female or male in Spanish:
Pelota: female
Libro: male

llamar is a reflexive verb, so it needs the pronoun me:
me llamo Elisa
me gusta is reflexive and it is in passive voice
Las manzanas me gustan.
you could change the order to: Me gustan las manzanas ; but you can see the verb is in plural, and Yo (I) is not the subject.
