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

well - I'd have sworn that it is pronounced
"Leminusa"
(don't see an "a" in "Le" - do you?)
hmmm...also could be pronounced, I guess
"Lemin USA"
which is distinctly different from
"Apple USA"
"Plum USA"
or even
"Peach USA"

Just about everyone's name is subject to rotten spelling, if one is born in
the US with an odd-lot spelling or if one is an American living in another
country. I know from experience. You just have to get over it. But you do
get to cry a little:-)

How do you pronounce Cholmondeley? I'm not sure it matters though. Do
we have any reason to think Le-a actually exists?

Chumley. It's pronounced in English English- the queen's English. I
suspect Le-a does exist, and will hopefully delight 12 years of
teachers. The nearest I myself got as a student's name was a
McCleedia, however. Toci

I had a classmate in grade school named Johnye. It was pronounced with the
emphasis on the second syllable. She was a girl, white. But her mother came
from the South, and this was her second daughter, it was obvious the parents
wanted a boy. So they gave her a boy's name, trying to "feminize" it a
little with the pronunciation. She hated it.
BTW, the South comes up with some crazy names. One of my college roommates
married a man named C. E. Just initials. They didn't stand for anything.

I don't find this hard to believe at all. My first year of teaching I
had a student named Ronnikuku. Since I had phonics in the first and
second grade I pronounced it as it is written - Ron-ni-ku-ku. The
student became quite upset and informed me that it was pronounced Ro-
nee-kee-ya. Whatever. I've also had a Fartiscia (pronounced far-tish-
a) and a Shatizi (pronounced Shot-zee).

Is this the same family that named the younger son
Nuladoesnotdothehulafromhawaii ?
