Words starting with A and E are definitely hard for me too! Also words that start with the “j” sound which can be J or G like genetic or generic. It sucks because my own name starts with E and has 3 syllables, so sometimes I get stuck on saying my own name, especially if I’m in a group of new people and we have to go around and introduce ourselves. I start feeling really anxious and feel all the eyes on me, then I start stuttering my name and people think I forgot my name and the vicious cycle gets worse
