At a family gathering this weekend, a school nurse present (who also doubles as an admin asst sometimes) was telling us of some of the crazy names she sees kids registered with.La-q was one of them. They asked the mom what is was short for, and she said it wasn't short for anything. It's her daughter's name. It's pronounced la-dash-eek.]

what's the fourth character in the name?A hyphen. Sometimes called a dash.

by thinking that "-" is pronounced "dash" and having no idea how the fuck the letter Q works.

ok.. i've heard a similar story, but it was La-A and pronounced "la-dash-uh"my mom works at an elementary school and she registers new students.... she sees a LOT of crazy names.... the one that sticks in my head is Shithead pronounced "Sheh-theed". He was from Turkey, I think. Poor kid.[Edited on May 26, 2009 at 4:32 PM. Reason : ^,^^ damn, that serves me right for not reading threads]

I went to school with a kid named Stainles Steele. Why would you do that to your child?
5/26/2009 5:22:41 PM
Because Stainles Steele sounds cool.
