    What's your name?

    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 like the "What's your name?".

    But even better:

    "Excuse me what was your name again?"

    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

    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.

    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?
