Is 「＿＿といいます」 acceptable when introducing myself? Or is it considered improper?


**Another question:** What is the best way to introduce myself in a neutral
setting that is neither proper nor improper and still natural?




I think its fine. But the most natural and, to answer your question, neutral
way to introduce yourself is just [your name]です. If you are trying to be
formal you should probably just say と申します. This is fairly common even outside
of business interactions.
