at times, the stutter will happen when I know I need to say my name out loud (ie. going around a table and saying your name, ice breaker, next person to shake hands with/introduce yourself with, etc). at other times, the stutter will come when i'm not ready/prepared and I need to say my name and then comes the jokes and laughs from the other person.. but through time, i've just learned to laugh along and move the conversation forward.. it's the best thing to do :)
