Try writing down all the note names in one bar and try to arrange them so that they form a chord. E.g. in the second bar you have:
CDADF
By trial and error you can put this in the form:
DFAC
where the jump between each note is a third. This spells a Dm7 chord. Finally, note that the C is in the bass so you should probably write this as Dm7/C.
Also, if there are no accidentals (# or b) then the chord must be diatonic to the key you are in. In C major there is no A (major) chord, but only an Am. Hence you are wrong in the fifth bar. However, as been pointed out, you have several errors, so it is best to go through everything.

yes, there are several faults.
you can find them yourself:
Dm
Am
D7/C as a (V2) or V-V7 in 1st inversion
I suppose you know yourself the inversion of the other chords
I don't know how to write them with this laptop
further you have a C# dim7 VII°7 to Dm
and a B dim7 VII°7 of C
I can poste you here the link or the copy the analysis of the whole preludium.
I know there is one of Herman Keller and others (susan bruins?) I'd have to google first about her name. you'll find also more than one analysis in youtube.
anyway:it's a good practice to try this and to note just chords instead of the all the music and each motif.

What if I’d poste here the chords? You wrote: as practice I‘m trying to name ... where will be the practice for you if I give you the answer before you have tried to do it yourself? The name of the music professer mentioned above is sieglind bruhn. her analyisis and also the one of hermann keller are in roman letters.I‘ll poste you the solution here when you have finished your practice. ;) You can poste it here without sheet music and without give in the bars if you want. But of course it might be more useful for you to have the music together with the chord for practice ...

yes, there are several faults.
you can find them yourself:
Dm
Am
D7/C as a (V2) or V-V7 in 1st inversion
I suppose you know yourself the inversion of the other chords
I don't know how to write them with this laptop
further you have a C# dim7 VII°7 to Dm
and a B dim7 VII°7 of C
I can poste you here the link or the copy the analysis of the whole preludium.
I know there is one of Herman Keller and others (susan bruins?) I'd have to google first about her name. you'll find also more than one analysis in youtube.
anyway:it's a good practice to try this and to note just chords instead of the all the music and each motif.
