I'm the same way! My speech therapist said it's because of the amount of unconscious pressure that surrounds answering that. There's no other option for a word replacement, and the conversation is stalled until that one very important name comes out. One thing that helps me is starting with "I am" or "my name is" which is weird in some contexts but it's better than the alternative
