I'm totally with you. I think it is somewhat speaker dependent, but that is how I would say those questions.
What's your NAme
How OLD (are you)?
Where are you FROm?
I guess in this example, "who is your daddy?" Is the main question, which has a somewhat flat intonation, but contrasted to the emphasis in the second half of the sentence, it feels like a rise
Could you give some specific examples of questions in English that would not be asked with a rising tone at the end?
24fps vision is a lie told by Hollywood so they can save on film
Love that this suggests that for vampires, it's all in their head
It's gotta be 1.5C hotter on average for a decade, not just a year
Unfortunately, to get the benefit of the slip steam, you gotta be pretty close to the back of the truck. If you have space for good reaction time, you're probably too far back
Pretty sure it's matte in the US, too

The first two have emphasis that imply something different than a simple question. Like you are asking a bunch of people individually, and you are directing each question at a specific person.
The last one would maybe be like, if the person did something weird, and you were sarcastically asking where the are from, to imply that they were raised by wolves, or something like that.
Point being, yes, you can ask like that, but it has different connotations than a simple question, which I think is where you would use the rising intonation.
