The actress Leelee Sobieski just welcomed a daughter named Louisanna Ray.

...Thoughts?

Poor child.

[lovetokate.livejournal.com]

The first name is way way too much. It looks like Louisiana and just, ew.

[sunshinefleur.livejournal.com]

I think Louisiana is kind of pretty (prettier than Alabama or Dakota, at least), but the extra "n" is pointless. and I don't like Ray on a girl. all in all, it had potential but failed :/

[schexyschteve.livejournal.com]

Everyone is going to read it as Louisiana (like the state), and it's going to be mispronounced her whole life. It sounds very country to me also.

[schexyschteve.livejournal.com]

It's not even Louisiana. It's just Louis anna.

First thing I see: Louisiana.

Then... I can't decide how to pronounce it. Lewie-anna? Lew-anna? Loo-ees-anna? Lewis-auna? Loo-ees-auna?

And Ray is bad.

[rowan-belle.livejournal.com]

Her whoooole life she will be called Louisiana. Poor kid :(

[hwar.livejournal.com]

Oh man. I wish she'd just gone for Louisa. I'm guessing it's Louise-Anna in pronunciation? I wonder if she's honoring family members or something?

[lovablemess.livejournal.com]

It could very well be pronounced like Louisiana and they were just trying to make it feminine or something.

[harinakshi.livejournal.com]

Well, her name is Leelee....

[jeweledvixen.livejournal.com]

WTF? I thought it was Louisianna and was horrified. This is worse because everyone will think it's Louisianna and the poor child will spend her whole life correcting people.

[sunshinefleur.livejournal.com]

oh, man. if I made that mistake after reading it several times, I can just imagine how many people will make that mistake throughout this kid's lifetime. poor girl.

[velkoria.livejournal.com]

Oh gods... I didn't even notice it was missing an i.. that poor child.

[frost.livejournal.com]

"Louisiana?!" D:
I thought it was Louisiana with an extra "n." I didn't even notice it -wasn't- until I read previous comments, lol. So it's what, Louie-anna? Lewis-anna/auna? Whatever it is, it's really bad and looks like a lot when written.

I knew a lady named Louisanna and she was a huge bitch, so it totally ruined the name for me even if it wasn't weird to begine with.

To add to the lulz, her last name was Louis.

[kitchen-poet.livejournal.com]

THIS!!!

[tabby-renee.livejournal.com]

I kind of like it, but I'd never use it.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

wikipedia tells me her name actually is:
Liliane Rudabet Gloria Elsveta Sobieski

[mockingbirdq.livejournal.com]

Sounds like the name of a fishing boat @_@

[laminy.livejournal.com]

It took me a couple tries to figure out it wasn't Louisiana, so I'm not sure what to think. I think I'd rather Louisiana, actually; Louisanna is just awkward to say and weird.

[arbus.livejournal.com]

i thought it was louisiana. i dont understand louisanna.

[starskye.livejournal.com]

this exactly. Also, I prefer the spelling Rae for a girl (Rae is my middle name, so I may be biased LOL)

[harinakshi.livejournal.com]

Dang...not sure if that is better or worse, certainly a mouthful, but at least it's obviously a nickname, that better.

[cremepuff.livejournal.com]

I'm also curious as to the pronunciation. Lewis-anna or Louise-anna? Thank goodness she can go by Lulu if she wants...

[cremepuff.livejournal.com]

These were my thoughts, too. Ray seems so masculine to me--and with Louis in her name, it's even moreso.

[bluedano.livejournal.com]

I totally read it as Louisiana and it wasn't until I saw these comments and looked at it again that I realized it was something else. :/ Name fail.

[pollysweet.livejournal.com]

I think Louisiana would have been better. At least stick a hyphen in there lady!
I thought it was Louisiana, just like everyone else, until I noticed the comments.
I think a nickname will be quickly made up as soon as the kid can manage it.

[mossmade.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a brand of BBQ sauce to me...

[sweetest-asylum.livejournal.com]

no. rae IS better. ray..i think of ray charles.

[sweetest-asylum.livejournal.com]

"Sweet Baby Ray's" IS a BBQ sauce!!!!!!
and it is excellent.

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

NO >:o
