The first one is different.
He called me names is to insult someone, for example, "you idiot!"
The second two are similar to each other:
'told me off' means scolded me. Example 'The angry mother scolded/told off her children'
I think ''chewed me out' is an American expression with a similar meaning to scolded. I do not think it is used in British English.
