“Okay ma’am, you said that there were two brothers and their names were ABC and DEF”

1- The term to politely address an adult woman would be “ma’am”

2- You want to change “name” to “names” because you’re talking about multiple people. Next, insert the word “their” before “names”. It should now read:

“-two brothers and their names-“

3- Neither “was” nor “is” are correct, the word you should use is “were”. It can’t be “is” because the speaker is repeating information, so it would be in the past tense, thus the use of “were”

It can’t be “was” because we’re talking about multiple people. If we were talking about one person, you would use “was”

4- If this is a question asking if the information is correct and not a statement, then the speaker would ask:

“Okay ma’am, did you say that there were two brothers and their names were ABC and DEF?”

or

“Okay ma’am, you said that there were two brothers and their names were ABC and DEF. Is that correct?”

If it is a statement and not a question trying to confirm the information, you can use the very first sentence at the beginning of my comment
