Is it right if I say: The name of my boss?
Or I should always say: My boss´ name?
Or I should always say: My boss´ name?

Either is fine. You don't need to say my boss' name all the time, it sometimes depends on the situations. Ex: _ What is this?
- Either is fine.
- You don't need to say my boss' name all the time, it sometimes depends on the situations.
- Ex: _ What is this?
- (Pointing at the name put on the paper or on something like that) _ It is the name of my boss.
- Ex: _ What is your boss' name?

The name of my boss is fine. My boss's name is also fine. No doubt that the second one is a more elegant form,
showing a good sense of English, and I would therefore opt for this option.
