i used to have this problem!!!! for YEARS. i also have an A name so i totally understand the struggle. something i did to help was add a word before my name to help me ease into it and thinking about those two words as one long word. if that makes sense. so instead of just saying my name i’d say “i’m ___” “it’s ____” (in one breath. think of your breath as a wave and the words are just riding on it) and then over time as you build confidence around saying it you can drop the first word and just say your name! now i can say it no problem!!!
