That's a toughie, actually, because that's a really forward question in Japanese society. They tend to ask things that can be taken personally, like this question, in a roundabout way. This (from what I know about Japanese language) would not be expressed so directly, so a literal translation like "Anata wa dare desu ka" (Literally, who are you?) would not be asked.
But not having taken more than 2nd year Japanese, I couldn't say which would be the appropriate question - all I can say is it would probably depend on what context you're asking it in.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help :(

Dare Desu ka.(polite) or Dochira sama Desu ka( Honorific)

It may be politer to ask `Can you tell( teach) me your name?`:
