A good approach would be trying to hide you stutters. This builds a considerable amount of pressure on you and it's likely it will affect your speech fluency.
Congratulations for your blog! Since recently, I also register my experiences with stuttering in http://acceptingstuttering.wordpress.com I find it a great way of reflecting on practice
I know it. You are SOOOOO proud of not blocking on your name and the damn ******* asks again. ;D
But since I train my speech more severely I get it out without stuttering. It happens surprisingly often and I'm shocked every time again I can tell someone my name without struggling. :O
I have difficulty saying 'Granville' so often use 'Robert', which is actually my first name. But now, some people know me as Granville and some as Robert, and I have to remember which! Strange that I can say 'Robert' OK. If it was my 'real' name, I probably could not do so. Why is that? Granville

I like the "What's your name?".
But even better:
"Excuse me what was your name again?"

Any of the above:
- What's your name?
- What do you do for a living?
- What do you study?
Or any direct and basic question.
