What word is my speech delayed daughter saying?

[Thedarksideofthemoon30]

My dd4 has a speech delay, she’s trying her hardest to tell me about her friend at school but she keeps saying “Sharon” and when I repeat the name she is getting angry because it’s not right! I can’t think what it could be!

Help me lol it’s driving both of us insane!

Or is she saying "someone?"

@GertiMJN

Are you able to describe some of the ways your dd's speech is typically different (if you know what I mean )

Does she miss any particular sound(s), or change one sound for another ..?

She is currently having speech therapy through school and looking into private. She can’t say k, ch, th sounds and also some more but I can’t remember off the top of my head lol. So like car she pronounces it as tar.

It sounds like she's saying Shannon.

Another video
Of her getting annoyed lol

She’s asleep now but will ask her the names on here in the morning!

Bless her, sounds like shannon? We always ignore something we don't understand to prevent DS gettng frustrated.

Erin?

Karen?

Serren or Sarah

Oh god I thought Seren instantly too! Or Joanne because of the S/J sounds... but Joanne isn’t a particularly common name anymore. Not that it’s not still a possibility, I’ve worked in schools for years and I just haven’t met a child named Joanne in all that time!
Has anyone on the Facebook group got back to you yet?
Also, please don’t feel too disheartened about her speech, children really do develop at vastly different rates and she’s getting some help now

Zara?

To me it sounds like Sowan in the second video and “someone” in the first.

Maybe it’s not an English name. Siwan. Sorren. I had a school friend called Chauan. I’d have put money on Seren until you said no.

I hear Seren or Sara. Possibilities are also: Serena, Sally?

Siobhan?

Seren

I thought Selwin
DP thought Sienna
DS thought cellar

Sharon. I clearly hear Sharon lol.

Shannon.
Chyanne (however its spelled)
Kerry anne

Sarah, sara or Tara? Dylan?

Mine had a speech delay at that age too (similar lettera to your dd by the sounda of it). I remember frantically trying ro ascwrtain what she was saying befire the ensuing meltdown. Good luck!

Sheeren? (although I think its pronounced differently in Arabic, it may be Anglicised).

Do you have a class list or anything you can refer to?

What’s that name that sounds like Sigh-anne...it’s quite popular in the US...Cyan? Or something like that...

Maybe Suzanne?
Bless her. My son has a speech delay too and gets so frustrated at times.

My daughter said ‘7’

Maybe Frozen?

My daughter said 'Callum'.

Callan? Karen?

I had this with DD in reception. No speech delay but still some interesting names on her first party list. I had to ask her teacher to translate some of them for me!

Also when she started a new school in year 4 she was convinced a girl was called Whisper. It was a very multicultural school so it was a possibility but fairly unlikely. Turns out she was called Mispa.
