Have you tried practicing in any way? My name is also a big problem. It’s not as easy to pronounce even. Before I even avoided saying my name. Like when introducing to each other nobody remembers the names either way so I was just saying “Hi” 😁. And occasionally people were “And what is your name”. But a few years ago I just made myself say it every time. Now it’s like 90% successful. Except the cases where a person hadn’t understood it and repeats it wrong and I have to correct it…. And it gets fun 😁
