I practiced pronouncing my name every day (10 to 20x) for 6 months. At the end, it became rote and boring, no more anxiety and fear. Also, use a bumper word, "Hi" "Hello" because for us we have to work 100,000x harder than everyone else. There comes a point where it just gets exhausting and I'm going to take as much time as I need to get it out.
