The way you write it makes it seem like it is pronounced "des-su" whereas it is actually pronounced with a silent "u", making it sound like "des", or "desk" without a "k" There is too much emphasis on the “dessu” here.

Few of the more serious men use "boku", as it is seen as more boyish than "ore". In all cases, the "desu" is not completely necessary, as it is often neglected as an implied particle in Japanese. If you're a stickler for being proper (which it is good to be if you're learning a new language) or if you're being judged based on your sentence structure and accuracy, include the "desu" “Watashi no namae wa _____ desu”

So I'm pretty sure this is correct, but correct me if I'm wrong: suppose your name is Maria, then you could just say "Maria Desu".
