Yeah - my name is Aiden, so I get that completely. It's terrible. And I think that's exactly my issue with reading. I don't block on every word that starts with a vowel, so I know to expect it, but not exactly when it will happen. Much like you, it's a matter of picking a synonym fast enough before the block starts. Sometimes I catch it and other times, I fail terribly.
