"where you live" vs "what name your"

These two phrases are not directly comparable as they serve different purposes. 'Where you live' is a correct and commonly used phrase to ask about someone's place of residence. On the other hand, 'what name your' is not a correct construction in English. To ask for someone's name, you should use 'What is your name?'

where you live

This is not correct. Don't use this phrase.
