babynamesMy mom is a nurse in a hospital. One of her friends at work had a patient on Friday with a most unusual name, this is how it was spelled:
La-A.
Ladasha. Yeah. The dash in the name is pronounced "dash" within the name.
I was floored. I just sat there with my mouth open for a good 30 seconds. That is so not ok. Definitely the strangest name I have ever heard.

Date: 2009-09-21 07:13 pm (UTC)I worked in direct care for several years and in that time I had a Diamond, Raven, and a Prince and Precious (they were brother and sister). I also went to school with a girl named Sparkle. I don't really think that Ladasha with a fucked up spelling is all that farfetched.

So it is possible for those urban legend names to get some play. (*devil's advocate*)

It may be an internet joke, but someone was probably lame enough to name their child that.

Date: 2009-09-21 02:31 am (UTC)"Ladasha" is an actual name, with an actual meaning, according to several baby name websites. It isn't so far off to me that someone idiot would take that name and fuck with the spelling to be cre8tive.

Do your mom work in Florida? My friend is a doctor there, he told us about a patient he encountered with that name too - I wonder if it's the same person! D:

I posted it too and got all the LOL's at me too.

Date: 2009-09-21 07:21 pm (UTC)I mean, really? My mom was an L&D nurse for 15 years and in that time had a woman name her daughter Meconium and Syphillis (she saw it on her chart and thought it was pretty...she pronounced in Sy-phillis). People name their babies some stupid shit.
