stuttering when introducing yourself

stuttering when introducing yourself I have been stuttering for most of my life and it has mostly gone away now with the help of speech therapy, but I still 100% will always stutter when saying my name and introducing myself. I am fine with conversation and even public speaking for the most part but when I have to say my name it’s game over. It’s an embarrassing first impression :( Anyone else struggle with this?? Any tips?
