The most common is "Qual seu nome?" and "Meu nome é..." If you ask "como você se chama?" People will answer "Me chamo...."

all are correct and can be used normally

Although all of these are correct, I'd say that 'Como você se chama?' fits better when you're speaking, and 'Qual o seu nome?' for writing. Sounds more natural to me. And those answers are both correct, but too formal. I only see people using them when they have to write in a more formal way. For everyday speech, you can answer with just your name if you want. Formal/Scholar: "Qual é o seu nome?" or "Como você se chama?" "Meu nome é ____." ou "Eu me chamo ____." (Very) Informal: "'Como você se chama?" "____."

All of them are correct. In 1 and 2 you could also use the article: "Como é o seu nome?" e "Qual é o seu nome?"
