How would you expect to pronounce “L’Daijohnique”

April 04, 2019, 10:52 AM

L’Daijohnique is the first name of a lady recently involved in an altercation in Dallas, according to local news reports. I have no idea how her name should be pronounced, and was hoping the SF brain trust may have some thoughts or experience with this name.

It’s like when you combine an L, Dijon mustard, and Monique to come up with a new and fabulous name that will show the world just how smart you are and how special your child is.

"The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them. At Rotterdam, London, Warsaw and half a hundred other places, they put their rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind."
-Bomber Harris

"The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams

“It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free."
-Niccolo Machiavelli

The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken

I was going to ask the same question, but the report I watched said her name. She got the crap beat out of herself.

I love her lawyer's BS. Her committing a crime is a complete and separate event from her being a victim of a crime. She threw the first punch then went for revenge even after her sparring opponent was charged and arrested. Enjoy you felony, what's your name.

I had an intern once whose name was Sequin
Sequin, I said... that's a pretty name.

She responded, it's pronounced "Sha Qwaaan"

I responded, but it's spelled s e q u i n, "see qwin".

She corrected me and that was that.

My brother had one that had me in stitches...
Mother's name was Delores, fathers name was Jerome.
Son was named "DeRome". Used to screw the secretaries in the supply closet, what a fantastic character.

I have too many such stories, after a while it's nothing special and you just glaze over.

It was 1972 or 1973 I was a young State Trooper and had arrested this Army Private named Willie Brown. I asked him what his middle name was and he said "Nimmy" as in Willie Nimmy Brown. I told him that is a different sort of middle name; he responded that it was; he never had a middle name until the Army issued him one.

I asked him for his Army ID Card and sure enough, he was named Willie NMI (no middle initial) Brown. I still marvel at that name all these years later.
