    I normally don't post, but this is too good. One of my cousins is a teacher and she has a child named Le-a.
    How is that pronounced, you ask? LEE-a? LEI-a?
    Nope. Ledasha. As in Le-dash-a. Le-a.
    Quote from the mom after someone mispronounced the child's name: "The dash ain't silent!"

    This was in one of our paper's birth announcements one day. We checked on it and it's the way the parents want it.

    It's a female name pronounced Shi-THEED.

    30 or so years ago, Oregon's football coach was Dick Enright at the same time Oregon's basketball coach was Dick Harter.
    Somebody wrote on the bathroom wall: If you can't get your Dick Harter, you can't get your Dick Enright.

    I do some substitute teaching, so I come across a lot of, um, odd names. This post reminded me of a recent one -- KLa. Pronounced "Kayla."

    Same high school football team, but I don't think they were teammates:

    Tecumseh Mayes
    Monaleisia (pronounced Mona Lis-ee-a) Carter

    Covered a juco baseball player 20 years ago named Buck Bohner - the 'h' was silent.
