Konnichi wa biggrin
I'm not sure I know what you mean by 'doka'
Did you mean to say 'doko' which means 'where'?
What were you trying to say?

Edit: My husband has informed me that if you were in a more structured and formal meeting situation, like where where each person would specifically introduce themselves and maybe say something about themselves, then it might be used...
But I'd like to think that this forum is not so stuffy and serious =D
I find it interesting that I've seen people use 'mooshimasu' instead of 'desu'.
That is the uber-uber-uber-polite way of introducing yourself. Only salesmen talk like that in Japan at least.
It's not wrong though, a personal choice I guess, but I wondered if everyone knew that it isn't common to talk at that level.
It would be like if, in english, I said "This most humble person is called Hikari if it pleases your greatness" (because the more polite you speak, the more it lowers your status and raises who you are talking to).
There is nothing technically wrong with that statement, but if you went around talking like that, it would seem a little excessive.

Synonymous Konnichi wa! Anatagata, hajimemashite. Watashi no onamae wa April desu. Amerika-jin desu. 19 desu. I've never heard 'anatagata' before. is that like minna or mina-san/sama? I'd just like to point out that using 'o' before a word makes it more polite. So it sounds funny to say 'o-namae' when you're talking about yourself. A proper use example of this would be: Me: O-genki desu ka? You: Genki desu!
