Please read the forum rules, we expect you to show your efforts at answering the question to receive help.

But I will give you some hints: are you looking for a systematic, chemical name, or are you interested what the molecule is?

In the first case - you need to follow IUPAC naming rules. Won't be easy as this is not a trivial one.

In the second case - start by calculating atoms of all elements (C, H, N and O, note that not all H are marked on the formula and you need to understand where to expect them), write the formula as CaHbNcOd - and google, then compare all found isomers with the structure. That's the universal approach (not that it easily works here).

I got to this point. I think that this structure (screenshot) is 2,2'-(Phenylimino)bis(1-phenylethanone).

I really don't know how to add those two -O-CH3 groups to the final answer. I tried following IUPAC naming rules but this is so hard. So i really need help with this final step. I am thinking about it for like 3 hours already.

Try this:

How is a benzene called with one amino group
Ether groups are called "oxy"  as substituent.
Acetophenone derivates with substituent on the methyl group are called Phenacyl-
Now combine everything.
