She can say everyone else's name in the family but when I ask her to say her own she gets shy and turns away. She's done this for as long as she has been talking. It doesnt seem to be a hard one (Charlie) but I get the same reaction each time.

She calls herself Yaya. winniebee on "When did your LO say their own name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-say-their-own-name#post-1902774 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 05:45:49 +0000 winniebee 1902774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ He started saying it Around 20 months. sunny on "When did your LO say their own name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-say-their-own-name#post-1902744 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 23:27:08 +0000 sunny 1902744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I can't remember!!! :-( I know she started fairly early. We were surprised because it is a tough name to say. mrsjyw on "When did your LO say their own name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-say-their-own-name#post-1902737 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 22:54:21 +0000 mrsjyw 1902737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ A few months ago he started saying it. He's 22 months now fancyfunction on "When did your LO say their own name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-say-their-own-name#post-1902605 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 20:15:14 +0000 fancyfunction 1902605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ She's 22 months and tries but her name is 4 syllables and sort of difficult for her to pronounce - she can get about 3 semi-intelligible syllables! She likes to say her aunt's name though, which is Kristen and comes out "tin-tin" ;) GrapeCrush on "When did your LO say their own name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-say-their-own-name#post-1902487 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 18:19:10 +0000 GrapeCrush 1902487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ For DS, not until he was past 2(he's 2.5 now). DD is definitely talking earlier than her brother did. She's 14.5 months and I'm trying to get her to say her name...but to be fair, her name can be a little difficult to say(Aurora), so we are trying her nickname(Rory) Ree723 on "When did your LO say their own name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-say-their-own-name#post-1902432 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 17:15:47 +0000 Ree723 1902432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Right around 2, but she calls herself Emmy (can't say Emily) or Emmy Boo (we call her Boo a lot). She started saying her little sister's name much earlier than she said her name, but alas, Charlotte is a hard name to say and I'm afraid she is forever going to be known as Shart. It's become so ingrained that I even call her Shart on occasion! Poor child... :silly: bpcmarj on "When did your LO say their own name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-say-their-own-name#post-1902414 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 16:49:56 +0000 bpcmarj 1902414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ She started to try around 12 months and it was "popo" then (which we still call her) but she was an early talker, too. From Popo it was penepe and then this week at 29 months she finally said Penelope all the way.

He calls himself "peace" for Pierce. I'll be sad when he says it correctly. cascademom on "When did your LO say their own name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-say-their-own-name#post-1902376 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 16:01:16 +0000 cascademom 1902376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Close to 2 years old for our guy. We would ask and ask. He knew it, but wouldn't say it. Now, it's one of his favorite things to say as well as show us that he's 2 years old. erinpye on "When did your LO say their own name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-say-their-own-name#post-1902370 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 15:53:27 +0000 erinpye 1902370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 12/13 months. She was a very early talker though. When she was 22 months, her little sister was born, and she said her name, "Adrienne" too! lamariniere on "When did your LO say their own name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-say-their-own-name#post-1902285 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 15:07:03 +0000 lamariniere 1902285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Around 17/18 months. He would point to himself and say "oui" (like they last syllable in his name) it was sooo cute.

Her name is Eleanor and she says Elle-nor which is pretty close! oliviaoblivia on "When did your LO say their own name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-say-their-own-name#post-1901940 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 12:04:31 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1901940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Around 15 months. She calls herself Diddy which was coined by Travelgirl's DD. Her nickname is Livy. Diddy is close enough for me.

Her name isn't easy for a toddler to say. I'm afraid she's going to start calling herself Meggie because that's what her daycare teacher calls her (vomit). cyndistar3 on "When did your LO say their own name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-say-their-own-name#post-1901854 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 11:32:53 +0000 cyndistar3 1901854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ She is 28 months and just recently started trying but it comes out more like "we-yan" than Lillian lol... mrs. tictactoe on "When did your LO say their own name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-say-their-own-name#post-1901811 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 11:15:52 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1901811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I can't remember! But I know at first he could say Ls at the beginning of words, so he said wee-um. Now he says it right at 2.5. bunnylove08 on "When did your LO say their own name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-say-their-own-name#post-1901808 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 11:14:43 +0000 bunnylove08 1901808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ i think she started to say it around 16 months.

He started out saying "Lyolyo" (his name is Leo), and now at 23 months he has consistently called himself "Lodee" for like 4 or 5 months. I LOVE IT and want him to call himself Lodee forever and ever. :silly: swurlygurl on "When did your LO say their own name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-say-their-own-name#post-1901779 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 10:59:29 +0000 swurlygurl 1901779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ She started saying it around 19 months, but I don't know that she really knows what she's saying. When we play peek-a-boo we say 'Where's Lyla?!' - when she tries to play but we aren't paying attention she'll say 'Lyyylaaa!' Super adorable though Tidybee on "When did your LO say their own name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-say-their-own-name#post-1901773 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 10:56:03 +0000 Tidybee 1901773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I think it was probably around 17 months. She can't say c or k sounds...they just sound like t, so her name sound like taire. People wouldn't be able to recognize what she is saying unless they know it already. jmarionsmith on "When did your LO say their own name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-say-their-own-name#post-1901767 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 10:52:00 +0000 jmarionsmith 1901767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ i think around 18 months he would use his nickname (just a shortened version of his already short name), occasionally. now, at 25 months, he switches between his nickname, the full version, and "i". tinyperson on "When did your LO say their own name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-say-their-own-name#post-1901765 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 10:51:59 +0000 tinyperson 1901765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Around 21 months - but maybe before? She was saying a word that we couldn't figure out, but then maybe thought was her name? She says it now for sure at 22 months (although it's still mispronounced). birdofafeather on "When did your LO say their own name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-say-their-own-name#post-1901759 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 10:49:04 +0000 birdofafeather 1901759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ She didn't have a lot of words until 19 months and I think she started saying her nickname last month at 20 months. She cannot say her whole name.

He's attempted to once after much coaxing, but for the most part, doesn't even try. autumnlove on "When did your LO say their own name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-say-their-own-name#post-1901751 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 10:46:43 +0000 autumnlove 1901751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ She started saying her nickname around 15 months.

I will add it is her version of her name but you can tell that is what she is trying to say.
