The kid will spend half her life spelling her name to strangers.
Hah...funny you say that...
My real first name is an unusual version of a very common first name. My last name is also an abbreviated version of a old russian long family name...
Over the years I learned to automatically spell my name to strangers after I tell him it...
Well, I, for one, like the names. Better than La-a, pronounced Ladasha because the dash not be silent.
Hopefully kids will learn how to at least spell the Yard part in school, although sometimes I do wonder about the educational system. At least it’s phonetic.
