Does anyone know the pronunciation of " La-a"? I just want to see if any one will get this right... This is a name of a child at my friend's school she teaches at.0

My best male friend loves to troll for internet hoochies and then complain about how no women out there are "wife material." His last two were named Ikea and Corvette. Don't get me started...0

La Dash A?
My husband was just featured in a story in a local newspaper today and I made the mistake of looking at the comments section. It's like swimming in a cesspool. My favorites were the ones that suggested he was a loser who just needed to get laid. I wanted to say, "I've got this! And I'll tell him he has you to thank for the nookie!" Yeah, people can be mean when hiding behind keyboards and usernames.0 -

i work at a school and I seriously just saw this the other day. A teacher asked me if I knew how to pronounce this. it was student in her class. I had no idea!0 -
I was just thinking about names I would never name my children about a half hour ago (that is, if wanted to have kids in some alter universe.)0

first reply...
best reply. the first is always best.0 -

Many cars are names after people. Mercedes ( http://www.mbofsa.com/blog/mercedes-benz-name-origin/) and Porche are both real people's names. (Granted, Porche was his last name.)0 -
But since it's not... carry on with the judging of others who judge others.
I just said they were mean because of all the mean comments they made but didn't bash or judge them. Merely an observation but whatever...0 -
Never liked the name 'Tarquin'. Then I met a Tarquin, and it was good to be able to put a face to the name I hated so much.0

I know a little girl named Abcde (ab-sa-dee) and her family is the sweetest. She's in my toddler class, the name choice was bad but hey, she's cute, her parents are wonderful and they even hosted a cookout for the entire daycare, at their house.
Now, my mom used to teach 4th grade and she had a girl named ashadavodka (a shot of vodka) and her brother was in 2nd grade and his name was cavasiey (courvoisier). They're parents, eh a little on the ratchet side but they kids were spoiled and they were so nice.
I don't judge mainly from these two experiences. No name screams bad parent, unless they were named bad parent.0 -

Names should look good on a business card or be easily worn by a judge/cashier/ceo/whatever. I also like the Starbucks test. When they ask for your name for the order, give the name you're thinking of using, same wit dinner reservations or other everyday usage. It'll show you how wearable the name is in real life.0

I personally find Shadynasty (Sha-dynasty, not shady nasty) from that one episode of "Always Sunny" to be a hilarious name. lol.0
-
My daughters name is beautiful and unique and always pronounced wrong lol her father hated it when I thought of it too so that was also a plus haha I love unique names. They do get out of hand but we don't need anymore jessicas or Samanthas or megans really. Be creative people

I'm over the name Nevaeh. I don't think it's cute or unique.0

The most interesting thing is that when it comes to people giving their kids weird names, we judge minority parents very differently than we do rich white parents doing the exact same thing.
You don't hear many recriminations against Willard Mitt Romney for naming his poor son Tagg.
You also don't hear many assumptions made about their intelligence or parenting ability.0 -
Reminds of the New Jersey couple who had their kids removed and put in foster care because they named them racist names (Adolph Hitler and Arayan Nation). And - when they gave birth to a third son and named him Hons, he was promptly removed from their custody as well. SMH
Anyone who names a child Abcde should immediately have that child removed from his or her custody.I was just reading an article about popular names and the comments are just full of hate. While I agree that some of the names sound kind of dumb or not something I would name my kids, I wouldn't go so far as say that the parents should be punched or make judgements on the parents lifestyle/education/etc. based on what they choose to name their kid. If you don't like it fine but there's no need to bash on the people because of what they named their kid or just assume that if a kid is named a certain name that they would grow up to be pretentious, cocky, or a douche bag. A name is just that, it's how they're raised that will turn them into the people they are as adults. Just my thoughts. :-D
I mean, some names just scream, "BAD PARENT!!!"0 -
A guy that I know who is a sales manager is called Richard Shaw and for some bizarre reason on his business cards he has Rick Shaw..but when you meet him he introduces himself as Ricky Shaw...I know a woman whose name is Jane Plane....Parents have a lot to answer for

While I was in labor the nurse was talking about some of the worst names she has heard. The two at the top were Emajyun (pronouced Imagine) and La-a (pronounced la-dash-a). Unfortunately, both of those babies were born to drug addicts though. She also agreed with another poster who said that a lot of the weird spellings were just because the mothers couldn't spell.0

Not really a joke. We had a girl apply for a job where I work and that truly was her name. La-a, pronounced Ladasha. It took every ounce of strength I had not to fall on the floor in disbelief.0 -
Also i know people who named their kids Chlamydia and Malaria...true story :noway:
I went to college with a girl named Candida. Her mom thought it sounded pretty but had no idea what it really meant.0 -
Worlds full of unhappy people and unhappy people are often *kitten*.0

While I think what a person names their child is their business it does not mean I can not have an opinion on it. When I had my son the people across the hall way their last name was Floyd they named their son pink.....Pink Floyd. I felt that kid is in for some teasing in school perhaps. Not only the band connection (which todays kids may not pick up on) but being a boy names Pink.0
