I struggle saying my name too. A technique that helps me is introducing myself first. In a social setting it is quite awkward for someone to ask your name and all they get in response is a half agape mouth and silence. If you proactively seek out somebody else's name first, it alleviates the stress caused by this situation. The other person will also likely have a good first impression of you because of your willingness to meet them.
