My daughter-in-law, Laura, tells the story of a friend who worked at Disney World one summer and had the responsibility of announcing each little girl who attended Cinderella's luncheon. As each girl entered the room, this person would be given a card with the child's name and then announce the little girl as Princess (insert name here).
As you might imagine, creative names can be tricky and pronouncing them can be a challenge. He found this out the hard way when handed a card with a name he had never seen before. With his best announcing voice (and a hint of hesitation), he proclaimed her entrance by calling out, "Princess Shady Nasty?"
From the back of the room an indignant mother responds,
"It's pronounced Sha Dynasty!"
Maybe Mom should have thought a little harder before naming her child Shadynasty.
