Both. 名字 is only a noun, while 名 can be both a noun and a verb.

名 (míng) is a noun that is used to refer to a name or title. It can also be used as a verb to indicate that something is named or called something. For example, 他的名字叫张三 (tā de míngzì jiào Zhāng Sān; His name is Zhang San).

No, it is not correct to use 名 (míng) as a verb in this context. To say "my name is ABC" in Chinese, you would say "我名叫 ABC" (wǒ míngjiào ABC).
If you head over to this entry in our dictionary - "名叫 míng jiào [v] be called, be named", you will see more example sentences.
