It's pronounced "Ledasha"! Oh yes - you read it right- the dash is pronounced! 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!"

this is a new one on me. too cute.
it actually is pretty ingenious.
hahaha maybe the dash don't be silent but the mama should be.
Hilarious!!! Someone sent that to me in an e-mail a couple of weeks ago. I'm laughing just as hard the second time around!
Wow! I can't say it any better than beaux mondes did!

Thanks for the pronunciation tip. I'll start asking when I see dashes.
NO WAY !!!
say it ain't so.
get out! that is so funny. never heard of anything like it! love Miss Piggy too:-)
Dat be hella funny
Actually, it's not a dash, it's a hyphen. So her name really is Lehyphena. Which is perilously close to Le Hyena. Not good.
When I lived in Annapolis, the ghastly paper there did an opening of school story about how kids weren't named Dick, Jane & Sally anymore and then went on to list all of the laquishas, shamiqu'as, and shanaynays in the school system. toooo funny!
ps... google "baby's named a bad, bad thing". it's beyond funny!
That. Is. Hilarious.
Thanks, I needed that laugh!
