I was both perplexed and perturbed when I read through this and the true pronunciation and justification of such was explained...You'll see what I mean...
How would you pronounce this as a child's name?...Leah?...No...Lee - A?...No Sir, guess again...Lay - a?...Nope, not even close...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 is the name of a real child who lives in Livingston Parish, Louisiana...Le - a's (haha!) mother is irate because everyone is getting her name wrong...When the mother was asked about the pronunciation of the name, she said "the dash don't be silent."
If you ever see this again, for the sake of Le - a (I can't hold back my laughter at the sight of this name) and her creatively ignorant mother, please don't forget to pronounce the 'dash'...
