"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??
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."
Got this in an email awhile ago. Don't know if it's true . . . but it probably is.
Crap. I'm gonna have to change the way I pronounce my name too.... I got me a 'dash'.
