Trouble with Introducing Myself...

Trouble with Introducing Myself... Hey guys - I’ve never posted to this sub and am still new but I’ve been struggling with a stutter since as long as I can remember. I work in a profession where I’m constantly meeting new people and socializing and the first point of communication is shaking hands and saying my name. However, my block is at its worst with hard consonant sounds and both my first and last name are tough sounds for me. I’ve found that if I can say my name with ease then the conversation that follows is usually fluent and stress free. However, if I don’t then I’m choppy and lose confidence quick. Anyone else out there suffer from something similar or have tips to alleviate?
