Stuttering and Names! I have a stutter (usually with vowel sounds) and conveniently my name is "Aisha" and it is pronounced like "Eye-sha" with an "I" sound. I really struggle with saying my name when introducing myself. Because my name is commonly mispronounced I always have to correct people and it leads to more stuttering. Reading up and down this reddit I saw another post about a boy that stutters that also struggles with saying his name. People that stutter, do you guys also have trouble saying your own name?
