I assume nearly every stutterer has problems with their name. Introductions are always hard for me, and I dread them. Especially going around the room and introducing yourself. That is an absolute nightmare. I often will cause a "distraction" to give me more time to prepare. Such as, "Hi everyone, I'm..." instead of just trying to say my name. Unfortunately there's no real solution to this problem. Heck, I've lied about my name before (thankfully very rarely).
