No, unfortunately it's also very real. My SIL is an RN in the maternity ward. And she's had more than a few over the years where you "say" the dash. It might have started out as an urban legend... but it caught on!

That name will be great for her future job at a strip club!
We have a student whose name is La--a. And it's pronounced La-dash-a. Yes, the dash is spoken. And the mom was upset because no one at the school could say her daughter's name right the first time. Ya think?

Hey. That is what I named my pound puppy. I am offended.
What I really like is that I live in a neighborhood where kids have names like that. My neighborhood is awesome.
This is an urban legend.

When are people going to understand that these are babies, NOT PETS, who will grow up to be adults one day.
I once saw a child who's name was "I'm Lovely". Poor little things!!!
