Okay. How would you pronounce this Ch*ld's name?

Le-a (written just like that)

Leah?? NO

Lee - A?? NOPE

Lay - a?? NO

Lei?? Guess Again

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

This Ch*ld 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.'

If ignorance is bliss, there's oodles of happy folks. You bet.

There is actually precedent for this mother's feeling--and it's been all over the news lately. That Bombardier q400 that went down is also known as a Dash 8, short for DHC-8 (or De Havilland Canada Dash 8.
