    In hiragana, yes. Katakana is only used for writing foreign language words, loan words, and to represent onomatopoeia.

    'What's your name?' : あなたのお名前は何ですか? ("Anata no o-namae wa nan desu ka?"), お名前はなんですか? ("O-namae wa nan desu ka?"), (informal) お名前は何? ("O-namae wa?") (literally: "Your name is ... ?")

    super polite:しつれいですが、おなまえをうかがえますか?

    polite: おなまえをおしえてください。

    casual: なまえをおしえて。

    The answer of "." is not wrong in terms of word-to-word translation, but unnatural.
