Mensagem:  Joe, I disagree.

Would you approve of "What is your name?" or "Which is your name?"  The former is almost always used, correct?  Let's add some context and see what happenes.

"Your rap sheet gives five aliases:  John Smith, Jack Jones, Red Scarletti, Frank N. Stein, and Huckeleberry Hashimoto.  Which is your name?"
