La-a (pronounced: Luh-DASH-uh) And, I thought I was the only one that had heard of that name. My sister in law was an inner city school teacher and came across that name/spelling.
She asked me if I knew how to pronounce it.....I couldn't. When she told me, I about it the floor.

Real name: La-a (pronounced: Luh-DASH-uh)
You left out the best part of this urban legend. When her name is mispronounced as "Lah ah," she spits back, "The dash don't be silent!"

SCENE: 2nd Grade Classroom, Parochial School, Bronx, NY c. 1958
SISTER: "All right, class. Let's show Father how well we can all read."
All the children read aloud from their readers except one very small child busy with crayons.
PRIEST: "Sister. What about that child there? Let's hear him read."
SISTER: "Oh, Father. Christ Murphy can't read."
PRIEST: "Well, God damn it, he can try, can't he!"

I met a girl who’s name was Lasagne.
I had to bite the inside of my cheek not to laugh.
