This question needs much more info, please edit it. Especially: Why do you want to ask their name? You are asking this on an international forum and telephone customs differ from country to country (so tell us yours): in Italy people will answer with 'Pronto', in The Netherlands people will answer with their name.

There is no universally applicable answer beyond "just ask them and don't be rude". VTC as too broad.

This question needs much more info, please edit it. Especially: Why do you want to ask their name? You are asking this on an international forum and telephone customs differ from country to country (so tell us yours): in Italy people will answer with 'Pronto', in The Netherlands people will answer with their name.

"I'm sorry, your name is...?"
"Can I say who is calling?"
"Sorry, I missed your name..."
Make it sound like your mistake and it becomes fine.

Or 'Can I have your name please', just put a 'please' on the end and it's all good.
