You're stressed because you're motivated. Put that stress to work, and spend some time practicing. I would make eye contact with myself in the mirror and say my name with my hand outreached for a handshake. Just a few times whenever I get ready to go out. It worked well enough to get me through many intense interviews. The idea is to override your flight-or-flight response to being asked your name with one that you have more control over.
