Pronunciation, Please?

In thinking of baby names, a friend sent this suggestion to me :)

How would you pronounce this name: 'Le-a'?

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.'

That is so funny! Reminds me of a letter to Dear Abby! Some lady named her kid Demarcus but left out the "R" when everyone called him "Demockus" she got angry and said she didn't care if she couldn't spell his name was "DEMOCKUS"!
