I would expect the mother has successfully met all the requirements of the educational system under the auspice of the Department of Education and its 56 billion dollar budget. Excellent use of our money. I did not question its authenticity due to its unusual creativity. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!! A school teacher friend sent this to me. This is a child's name!
"Le - a"
How would you pronounce this as a child's name???
Leah?? NO Lee - A?? NOPE Lay - a?? NO Lei?? Guess Again.
Are you resorting to tongue clicks yet?? Scroll down It's pronounced "Ledasha" oh yes...you read it right. The dash is not silent.
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 the dash. When the mother was asked about the pronunciation of the name, she said "the dash don't be silent."
