Yeah I think saying our name is difficult for a lot of us. I can't even tell you how many times I've heard, "what did you forget your name?" Ugh... yeah I forgot my name. That's the logical conclusion to make.... I think for a lot of us it's the anticipation and the worry that we will stutter that actually makes it happen so consistently on things like our name. I mean I can say my name all day every day. But if someone asks me, "what is your name?" I get that feeling in my stomach and my body tenses up and then suddenly, I can't say name. It's really kind of a pain in the ass lol
