Whats in a name?

How would you pronounce this child's name: "Le-a" ???

Leah?? NO

Lee - A?? NOPE

Lay - a?? NO

Lei?? Guess Again.

It's pronounced "Ledasha" Oh yes...you read it right.

This child attends a school in Livingston Parish, LA. Her mother is

irate

because

everyone is getting her name wrong. SO, if you see something come across

your desk like this please remember to pronounce it correctly.

When the mother was asked about the pronunciation of the name,

she said "the dash don't be silent."

I HATE stupid people. If you want your kids name pronounced a certain way, spell it that way. No cute spellings, no being unique, just freaking spell it. And if you are too dumb or uneducated to spell it, then ask someone who does.

Remember the couple who named their kid Espn (pronounced es-penn) because they loved ESPN so much.

I would sue my parents for doing that to me once I got older. That's just wrong.

Agreed. That name utterly retarculous. And the mother's outrage is unjustified. That's what you get for giving your kid an unpronounceable punctuation mark in her name.

Her sister, Lasemicolona, gets annoyed too.

Colombia is known for weird names. When I was in second grade I went to school with twins, one was called Francia (France) and the other one Italia (Italy). Then a year later a new girl started school with us and her name was America. We had most continents covered, the only one missing was Asia.

I have a friend who went to college with a guy named Marlon Brando González and we had a neighbor whose first name was Espíritu Santo (Holy Spirit).

And I'm not kidding either

Sounds like mum got the idea from "Dobie Gillis" (more specifically from Dobie's sidecick Maynard G. Krebs; never explained how the "G" stood for "Walter")
