Is this how you say: 'Hello, my name is Ethan' in Japanese?

Answer

俺 is very casual form which should be used among friends. This is used not only old men but also youngsters. 僕 sounds casual and should not be used in business. I recommend you to start from 私 to meet someone for the first time, 僕 after you become a friend with someone. 俺 should be used once you got at native level. If non-native spearker who has a smattering of Japanese uses 俺, it sounds very weird.
