I speak both English and Italian and my name is so long and hated it at first. Now im 21 but up to the age of 18 i couldnt say my name in both languages. If i was around people that knew i had a stutter they would say my name for me if they could see i was stuck when people would ask for my name. Now ive built the confidence to say it perfectly in English but im still terrible in Italian and thats my mother tongue. But ive learnt to love my name. Still mentally hurts me when i cant say it but im hoping as i get older my confidence will improve and ill manage to say it also in Italian. Once i manage to say my name i can then focus on the other thousand words in the dictionary hah Point is dont let it get to you. Learn to conquer it and beat it. Its all about confidence
