Amazing Names #5

This post comes not from the library, but courtesy of my 14 year old niece, who is a tutor to little kids.

La-a.

How in the hell do you pronounce that? Is it in a Sub-continental Asian Indian language like Hindi or Tamil, whose accent marks do not translate well on an English keyboard, but they've invented some sort of new system that they all understand to recognize while adjusting to our inadequate keys? Is it the combination of two, very short last names?

No. It's pronounced "La-dash-a."
