Same here man. I have a block almost every time that I say my name and have always wished that I had a name that had a softer start. One of the most embarrassing blocks I've ever had was when I went to the gym and had to give the person behind the desk my name to check in. I couldn't get it out for a solid 10 seconds and the person laughed at me and asked, "did you forget your name". I was embarrassed and didn't know what to say so I replied yes and just walked in the door. Still makes me cringe thinking about it to this day.
