Any Tips/Advice For Not Being Able to Say My First Name Properly? Hi, I've always had a stutter, but this year I started having problems with being able to properly say my first name to people, and I'm not sure about what to do about this because I can say it fine when I'm alone, but in front of people it gets worse, and I have to resort to spelling out my first name or going by my last name. Any advice would be appreciated, because this is a brutal problem to have.
