Name from Kindergarten ...

Some of you might remember there was a Joshuana on Kaitlyn's class list I posted a few weeks back. Well today is parents' day, and I asked Kaitlyn if she knew if Joshuana's daddy was named Joshua (which I thought was a pretty fair assumption LOL). She replied, "No, and she hates when people call her that." As it turns out, this isn't supposed to be a "female" version of Joshua ... she pronounces it Ju-SHAWN-a, and doesn't understand why people always think her name is Josh-oo-AHN-a. Apparently her mother was going for Joshauna, at the very least, and missed the Joshua connection. ;)
Just thought that was interesting.

I have to agree. I just came from the parent visitation and, sure enough, the teachers pronounced it Ja-shawna. I did hear at least one other child call her Joshu-ana, and she promptly "corrected" them (probably for the sixth time that day, from how irritated she seemed about it LOL). No idea what her mom was thinking.
