And as for being "too informal", I don't really think so; Personally, I will sometimes use this sentence even with people I meet for the first time, and without fearing being too casual. I will use this expression especially AFTER they have told me their name first. For example:<p> Person 1: Bonjour, je m'appelle X. Myself: Et moi, c'est Herman!(However, it seems <em> more natural</em> to use <strong>je m'appelle...</strong> when asked the question <em>comment vous appelez-vous?</em>. Hope this answers your question :-) Merci. Herman</p> Oui, “Moi, c’est Diana” is correct!!!.

Is this correct? Is it too informal? When would you use one versus the other? I have heard introductions also as: Moi, c’est Diana (or other name). Is this correct? Is it too informal?
