    Two very... ummm... unusual names!

    My friend has come across two very unusual names in her job over the last few weeks. Now the fist one the spelling says it all...

    Abcde - pronounce ab-si-di (kinda how Cassidy sounds)

    The other one is La-a, now how would you pronounce that? I'll come back later & tell you

    Is La-a pronounced Layer? or is it like liar?

    Abcde - Oh my! I like the sound of the name but the spelling freaks me out

    I think La-a might be pronounced layer - like princess leia.

    It's just cruel doing that to a kid Abcde!

    You could do Qwerty then it would be easy to spell on the keyboard!!
