minus-square@Justdaveisfine@midwest.sociallinkfedilink80•edit-26 days agoLa-a (Pronounced La-dash-ah) is the weirdest one I’ve seen
minus-square@otter@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglish28•edit-26 days agoI’ve seen that as La-ah. Somehow La-a is so much worse.
minus-square@Justdaveisfine@midwest.sociallinkfedilink22•6 days agoSeems the article is from 2008, and the La-a I know of was in pre-k in ~2015, so it seems someone named their kid based on the legend.

minus-square@GoodLuckToFriends@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglish1•4 days agoI’ve seen one in real life. Maybe they just carried a fake id card as a joke, but this was in a billing department so I’m assuming it was real.
minus-square@Justdaveisfine@midwest.sociallinkfedilink2•5 days agoYeah the other reply noted the same thing. This would have been about ~2015 and she was in pre-k so someone must have named their kid based on the legend. I can’t recall if the girl was black or not but I don’t think she was.
