If you don't mind listening, some of my ideas for developing Derpy in the show:  She could appear at school when Sweetie Belle is leaving class and pick her up and Sweetie could say something like "Are you ready for voice lessons?  I am trying to get my singing cutie mark!" and they could go into a music store together. I like this idea in my fanon because it would allow Sweetie Belle to develop what is obviously her talent, singing, and allow Derpy to have a canon reason for her voice changes that shows kids that you can improve your voice and tone with practice and lessons. I think it would be awesome to have Derpy take agility lessons with Rainbow too. I think in a ~10 second short scene they could show Rainbow doing some practice for the Wonderbolts and Derpy doing some fancy move for the Wonderbolts too or helping Rainbow, showing kids if they like athletics they can improve their agility and coordination with practice and training with their friends. Finally, I think even the name change could be dealt with constructively by having Mayor Mare congratulating Derpy for helping rebuild town hall or some other achievement and giving her a new "title" or name. A title could be anything in the Ponyverse, so it could be Bubbles or Derby or anything they wanted to give her for a new name. This would allow her "real" or "original name" to still be Derpy but she could be referred to by her new title as a badge of honor by the other ponies. This could show kids that if you help your friends in a big way, you can be rewarded with a fancy title or new name, as many cultures give you a new name for coming of age or other such occurence. I don't mean to say that my ideas are the only ones, but I think they're pretty cute and appropriate for the "target" audience of the show.
