When meeting someone important for the first time, what would be the best way to ask their name?
你叫什么名字？ or 你的名字是什么？
And is there a difference aside from the literal meaning?Then do they usually introduce themselves after?Is asking for their last name more important then asking for their full name?

meeting “someone important ” First you should introduce yourself Then the person will tell you his/her name.If he or she does not tell you the name.you can say"您贵姓？"or “请问您怎么称呼？”not say "你叫什么名字？"，It is impolite.

“怎么称呼您？”——这种问法在见面时或者在电话里都是很礼貌的。It's a very polite way to ask someone's name both in the phone and when face to face.
