Because the voice they hear most clearly… is yours.

- 📴 Offline & privacy-first (no cloud storage)

"Every child deserves to learn their name from the voice they trust most — yours."
Unlike generic phonics apps with robotic voices, MyNameIsApp lets you record your child’s name exactly as your family says it. Whether it’s “SAH-rah” or “SAIR-ah,” your child learns from your voice, not a stranger’s.
- 🎤 Parent Voice Recording – Record each sound in your child’s name
- 🎯 Name-Focused Learning – Only shows the letters in their name
- 💾 100% Private – All recordings stay on your device
- 📱 Works Everywhere – Phone, tablet, computer – even offline
- 🔒 No Account Needed – Just open and start recording
We wanted our toddler to learn their name with our voices, not from cartoons or strangers. Inspired by phonics and early speech science, MyNameIsApp helps toddlers connect sounds to their name in a personal, joyful way.
There’s nothing more powerful than hearing your name spoken with love — and babies have heard their parent’s voices since the womb.
Type your child’s name (up to 26 letters).
You’ll be prompted to record:
- Their full name
- “What is your name?” ✨
- Each phoneme (letter sound) — A = “ahh”, B = “buh”
- A sentence with their name
- A rhyme with their name
