How would you pronounce this child's name?

"Le-a"

Leah?? NO
Lee - A?? NOPE
Lay - a?? NO
Lei?? Guess Again.

This child attends a school in Kansas City, Mo. 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 dey axe you why, tell dem de dash don't be silent.


STAY ALERT!

They walk among us .... and they VOTE and REPRODUCE!

We had one at our high school named Trachea, and one at the cross town HS named "Shithead". Pronounced "Shih-theed". I have the yearbook to prove the first, and can easily get the 2nd

After reading the snopes article, I'm guessing it's BS.

I went to high school (in North Jersey, where the Italian population was, uhm, high) with Salvatore Manella.

He went by Sal.

I sincerely hope English wasn't his parent's first language.

Well I'm not sure what you mean but she seems to be on the same wavelength as Bush, too bad he couldn't run again this time...

So far she's lived in Brooklyn, New Orleans, Detroit and Miami....

It seems to just be some racial bs.
