Correct: Hi, Cornelius.
This statement is directed at Cornelius. When you say, "Hi, my name is Cornelius," are you talking to an entity known as "my name is Cornelius"? It's likely you are not. Unfortunately for nametag manufacturers everywhere, "Hi" is actually its own sentence. You're trying to join two complete sentences with a comma. This is morally wrong.
I know everyone does this wrong, and I will not mock you if you continue to follow the incorrect precedent society has set for us. I just wanted you to know the truth.
