Should i employ CM on control question, "is your name _____?" to raise BP or HR?  then on revelant question try to remain calm?

The question "Is your name _____?" is not a control question. It's an irrelevant question, and one wouldn't want to produce a reaction to it. For more on control questions and how to recognize them, see The Lie Behind the Lie Detector (https://antipolygraph.org/lie-behind-the-lie-detector.pdf).
