@Islarf 僕の and 私の are both my, but 僕の is a gender term which is used by males. 😊

Both 僕の名前は and 私の名前 are same meaning as "My name is"
The difference is the pronoun.
Polite for unisex：私（わたし）
Casual for Male：僕（ぼく）／俺（おれ）
Casual for Female：私（わたし）／あたし／うち

@Dateo so the kanji switched but is still "わたし” for the casual female? when introducing how does one be "polite" or "casual" if they're the same sound?
- Japanese
@Islarf
"Watashi" is basically polite.
But some women use this for her friends or parents even in casual scene.
However you can tell that is in polite or casual from whole sentence.
Example:I don't have time today.
私は、今日時間がありません/Watashi wa kyou jikan ga arimasen.
私、今日時間ないんだよね/Watashi kyou jikan naindayone.
