So what is if you do not have a named database instance?

better you use this:

var serverNames = from server in SPFarm.Local.Servers
                  from service in server.ServiceInstances
                  where service is SPDatabaseServiceInstance
                  let dbInstance = (SPDatabaseServiceInstance) service
                  select dbInstance.NormalizedDataSource;

If you have multiple names for your sql server (like aliases) the returned collection will have multiple entries. Just take the first of the collection.

This code should help you and you need to run this code from the SharePoint Server or WFE server.

        public String GetSharePointSQLServerName()
    {
        String sServerName = "notFound";
        foreach (var item in SPFarm.Local.Servers)
        {
            foreach (var svc in item.ServiceInstances)
            {
                 if (svc is SPDatabaseServiceInstance)
                {
                    SPDatabaseServiceInstance s = svc as SPDatabaseServiceInstance;                        
                    sServerName = item.DisplayName+"\\"+s.Instance;
                }
            }             
        }
        return sServerName;
    }
