She explained that it isn't that a child doesn't hear his mispronunciation, the problem is he is still incapable of making those two consonant sounds together. When he repeats he's trying to say it right, he just can't yet. I imagine my daughter will call herself Awice until she gets the l sound down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-lo-pronounce-their-name-esp-if-they-have-an-l-in-it#post-388299 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 06:38:40 +0000 Andrea 388299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Her nickname has 2 L's and she's always been able to pronounce it. Looking at pp's comments, I guess it is usually hard for toddlers? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-lo-pronounce-their-name-esp-if-they-have-an-l-in-it#post-388251 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 01:50:18 +0000 HLK208 388251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ben's name is simple so yes :) but he pronounces his sisters name "El-wee" for Elly. Oh and F's and still sounding like P's (a letter in our last name). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-lo-pronounce-their-name-esp-if-they-have-an-l-in-it#post-388237 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 01:27:43 +0000 808love 388237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>L is really hard for my LO. I think it will be her last letter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-lo-pronounce-their-name-esp-if-they-have-an-l-in-it#post-386890 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 18:48:12 +0000 cyndistar3 386890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Caidence can pronounce her own name but has problems pronouncing her sister's name Lillian, it comes out sounding like Wiwian. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-lo-pronounce-their-name-esp-if-they-have-an-l-in-it#post-386876 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 18:42:29 +0000 Honeybee 386876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD can pronounce her full name (which does have an "L"), but she doesn't identify as her full name; when she's referencing herself, she uses her nickname (which doesn't have an "L"). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-lo-pronounce-their-name-esp-if-they-have-an-l-in-it#post-386872 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 18:40:41 +0000 MamaMoose 386872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My brother's name is Charlie and it took a looooong time for me to be able to say it! I called him Cheetah! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-lo-pronounce-their-name-esp-if-they-have-an-l-in-it#post-386861 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 18:35:19 +0000 Mrs. Bee 386861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I call Charlie "Char-ree" like how he pronounces it, he says, "No it's Char-ree." Then I say, "Char-ree?" And he says, " No it's Char-ree!"</p> <p>Finally I reply, "Oh Charlie!" And he says, "Yah."</p> <p>He can't hear that he pronounces it wrong. :)</p> <p>Can your LO pronounce their name? Does it have an L in it? </p>
