Linguistic Conundrum

This would really be funny if it weren't true.

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, Louisiana. 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.'

LMAO @ zayd

Every year these names get dumber and dumber and the poor kids are the ones that suffer.
