So no one could pronounce it. I was Darlene, Danette. Deanna, Diana, Darnell (THE. WORST.), Doorknob, you name it. <br /><br />I didn't cave. My name is Danielle. Learn it. Say it. There will be no Darlene's here.<br /><br />And that's how I feel about Madrid and Theresa.

So it would stand to reason that we have a few cities in these parts with vaguely French names, like Prairie du Chien. Now, that's French for dog, pronounced shee-yeh (short n). So clearly, the locals call it Prairie du Sheeeeeen just to PISS ME OFF! <br /><br />I throw things at the TV every night when they give the weather report out there.Mandi E.http://www.everythingertel.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2300611070893992585.post-13409439370357352552011-10-13T13:24:25.430-04:002011-10-13T13:24:25.430-04:00I am feeling free to agree with you, homegirl, bec...I am feeling free to agree with you, homegirl, because people do that all the time in Louisiana, too, but also with people's names.<br /><br />My little sister is named Sierra and when we moved there, everyone decided it would be pronounced Sara.
