English term or phrase: sticks in my throat
Commedia teatrale canadese. Un uomo chiede alla figlia notizie del marito di lei.

How's that man of yours? What's his name? Name always sticks in my throat. Can't imagine why.

La mia proposta:

Come sta il tuo uomo? Com'è che si chiama? Quel nome mi si blocca sempre in gola. Non so perchè.

Cerco soluzioni migliori. Grazie!
