「僕にはな、ちゃんとした名前が……」
Is the above にはな made from the に+は particles with a ない (omitted い), or is it something else entirely?
Context provided below if it will help in solving the above issue.
Character A:「変な呼び方しないでくれよ！」
僕はいい加減苛立ちを抑えきれず、そう怒鳴りつけてしまった。
Character A:「僕にはな、ちゃんとした名前が……」
僕にはな、ちゃんとした名前が...
The な is a particle. It's used as a filler here.
This person is trying to say something like:
僕には(な)、ちゃんとした名前がある(んだ)。
XXに(は)YYがある means "There's YY in XX" / "XX has YY".
