Who names their child Le-a?

I saw this on our friends blog and had to post it... thanks Paul and Melanie!

Le-a

How would you pronounce that name in the title? You would say "Leah," right? Think again.Paul heard a story today about a woman in Louisiana who was suing the school district because everyone pronounced her daughter's name wrong. It was spelled "Le-a". In the newspaper article about the lawsuit, the mother was quoted saying, "The dash ain't silent!" That's right folks. Her name was pronounced "La-dash-a."
