I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there is no evidence that anybody has ever named a child la-a. My mom used to tell this story all the time, and I believed her for years that this was a real name until I googled it and read up on it. The name is an old urban legend that may pre date Internet lore.

How odd you think that. She was on my roll call for a term (high school). I am not going to tell you which school, as doxing a student is wrong, so I guess Elle is going to have to remain a myth for you.

So I guess the YouTube video that came out debunking the name "L - A" preceded the birth of the real actual L-A who you met.

I'm not doubting you. I don't know you. I'm just saying there's a YouTube video that debunked any existence of a person with such a name at the time the video was made.

One commenter always tells the truth, the other always lies.

Quick, which way is up?
