This one just came to me today. This is the most unique name that I've ever seen. You decide for yourself.

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

Leah?? NO
Lee - A?? NO
Lay - a?? NO
Lei?? NO

This child attends a school in Livingston Parish, LA. Her mother is irate because everyone is getting her name wrong.

It's pronounced "Ledasha".

When the mother was asked about the pronunciation of the name, she said, "the dash don't be silent."

SO, if you see something come across your desk like this please remember to pronounce the dash.

If they axe you why, tell them the dash don't be silent.

...and they say the English language is being butchered.

'nuff said.
