La Fonda

The other night at Book Group I was talking about when I was younger I use to wish I had a name like La Keisha, Sha Kayla, La Teisha.... get the idea?! The reason I liked those names is because you could make a nick name out of them- I wanted a nick name for me so bad! I had no idea Carly has been feeling the same way. The other day she was telling me a game we were going to play, and that her name is Fonda- then she corrected her self and said La Fonda! I about died! I have no idea where she heard this name and where she came up with it being her new name! What a goofy kid!!

Does she look like a La Fonda to you?!

Funniest story I've read all day! That is awesome! So did you go through this nickname phase before we met? I always liked our notebook note code names! "Hey Gayle, You are my favorite friend ever! Love, Gertrude!" Have a fabulous day!

That is so funny! I think it's hilarious that she didn't just pick out a different name, it's the same type as you used to do.

Adorable. Wasn't LaFonda the name of the brother's internet girlfriend on Napoleon Dynamite? I could be wrong...she might have spelled it differently La Fawnda? Does anyone else remember?

Love it! The funny thing is my mother-in-law is half Italian and from a small town in Oklahoma. Her name is Laquetta!!!

She's been watching too much Napolean Dynamite! She totally looks like a La Fonda!

I think you were jealous because you had an older sister named La Rae! Not quite the same ring to it I guess. Too funny!

Anna calls you De Lissa...does that count?

Oh, that is too funny! So, from not on, you are La Keesha, and Carly is La Fonda. Thanks for the laugh! Oh, and along the lines of Napoleon Dynamite type humor...check out my friend's blog at http://thethreelittlebearcubs.blogspot.com
They had a costume contest at her husbands work, and one guy dressed up as Nacho Libre, the video clip is hilarious. I was laughing until I cried!

La Fonda! I like it. Kylea used to want her name to be Maxy. In 1st grade she wrote it on all of her school papers. So when we decided to name the baby Max, we told her we were naming it after her.:) Kids are so funny. I think you should be La Shonda, so we can call you guys Shonda and Fonda.

That's so cute. Yes, LaFawnda is the girlfriend from Napoleon Dynamite - my personal favorite is Shenaqua!! I think that should be your nickname Alissa!

That is too cute and funny! Bekkah loves to add "La" and "Lou" to her names.

Wasn't that the name of the African American girl in Napoleon Dynamite? I can see a resemblance!

Did I miss a post that you are pg? I just saw the widget on your blog LOL

Still waiting to hear back from the recruiter for WM. It's been 2 weeks. She said they are just super busy and are hiring over 200 people. How long did it take for the whole process with your hubby?
