I’m a senior at my university and I still struggle with my name. On Monday, we had to introduce ourselves in class and I wanted to die. I just tried to think of transition things to say so that I could roll into my name. Luckily my buddy next to me said something I could roll with before my name. When it come to general introductions with folk, if they ask my name, sometimes I’ll just ask them to repeat the question so I can say “oh my name is ....” rather than just having to spit it my name. Hope that helps!
