Jim's query only shows the name of database which you are connected to, not the all databases created by other DBA(s).
In one case I used tnsnames.ora file to find out the database name and the number of databases are exist in the system.
I pasted a snappit of this file, if you find the same code or similar to it you can easily know what is the database name, I marked database name with red color,

MYDATABASE.WORLD
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST=10.10.10.90)(PORT=1521))
(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=MYDATABASE))
