How do you say “My name is…” in Irish?

Again, using my Irish Language Learning program it has told me a way to say “My name is…” but i still think there is more than one way, because when i was watching a video of people speaking irish they said a phrase and then their name. The way I was taught was “…is ainm dom.” So I would literally be saying “Ryan is my name”. How many different ways can you introduce yourself by telling your name and what are they?
