That looks like "What is thy name?" to me.
You can just say お名前は何ですか? (おなまえはなんですか?) - What is your name? お名前は? (おなまえは?) - Your name? And there are probably others, but these two are common formal and informal. My photos from Japan and around the world: http://www.flickr.com/dylanwphotography |

I just used sonata as a pronoun which means "you" and used no after it that it belongs to you
Just like watashi? わたしのなまえはなんですか。 watashi no namae wa nan desu ka. OK can I say nani which means what? なまえはなにですか。 namae wa nani desu ka. I don't know why they use nan. Look at this website, in the question they used "nan". and in the vocabulary list on the next page they state "nani" as "what".

わたしのなまえはなんですか? doesn't make sense because it's asking "What is my name?" "Nani" and "nan" kind of conjugate depending on what you're talking about. The kanji for them is the same "何" but in this case the sentence should be おなまえはなんですか?But both "nan" and "nani" can mean "what?"

The kanji. Just leave it as "は" - "wa"
