In one quiz answer it marked me wrong for choosing “Se llama [girl’s name],” saying I should have chosen “Ella se llama…” Then in the next quiz I chose “Él se llama” and it was marked wrong, saying I should have chosen “Se llama.” I’m confused, what is the difference?

¡Hola Sophie!
Both options are correct - you can choose to use the subject pronoun or not.
Here are some examples:
Él se llama Samuel
Se llama Samuel
Ella se llama María
Se llama María
After reviewing your responses, I've noticed that they haven't been marked as incorrect; there were simply multiple correct options (with or without the subject pronoun).
¡Hasta pronto!
