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.
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?

I love Electric Six! My favorite musical fun fact of all time is that Jack White did back up vocals for their song Danger! High Voltage
Thank you! I was always morally opposed to ads. Glad to have another great reason to shun them
Exactly. I hate when things say FREE!* (*With Ads), because you ARE paying for it. With your PRECIOUS TIME
I feel like the old guys in my area just talk about their health problems 😂
Something to look forward to, I suppose
So true
Love that this suggests that for vampires, it’s all in their head
It’s this loss(less compression)
