My first name starts with it. Owing to my accent, I have trouble pronouncing it.

Growing up in Israel, among "Arab Jews" who did not have this problem, I was reminded daily of the difficulty I have in pronouncing my own name.

Given the trouble I have with the glottal stop in "mcguire", I understand your problem.
