What's your name?

Hello, I hope this is the right forum to ask this. I'm looking for a common way to ask someone's name you just missed.. which is just right, not too polite, not too casual, say, in a daily business situation. How would you ask? May I use one of these...?
Sorry, I didn't catch your name --

#1. May I have your name again?
#2. What was your name again?
#3. What did you say your name was?
Are all three fine? I'd like to know what you'd say.. Emotion: smile

Thank you for your help, in advance.
