I noticed that spoken Japanese sounds similar to spoken Mongolian. Has anyone realised this too? Are there any similarities between these two languages?

I also read some Tungusic Manchu names and they sound similar to Japanese.

It does sound similar. A Mongolian guy here was talking to a Japanese girl and she asked how he would introduce himself. And she said it sounded strangely like unintelligible Japanese. Maybe a Mongolian speaker can help me on this.
English: "My name is Zolo."
Japanese: "Watashi no namae wa Zolo desu"
But since the Japanese grammar is different. Literally, the sentence is "My name ________ is." And "namae" means "name" in Japanese.

I thought the japanese for 'my name is' was watashi wa --- desu. Are you sure they use the no namae bit?

"watashi wa_______ desu" is just "I'm__________" but "namae" means name and therefore
"watashi no namae wa_________ desu" means "my name is__________"
