That's great! I also struggle with my name. A lot of stutterers do. I think we put a lot of pressure on that word because we know that we're expected to say it whenever we talk to people. It seems like when we anticipate a word, it becomes more of an obstacle. I think a lot of the struggle is with the doubt '' Will this word come out well ''. But when we talk spontaneously, we're not engaging in that pattern of thought.
