“Labia” sounds like a girl’s name. “This is Kayla, this is Laura, this is Labia. Say hi, Labia.”
It also sounds like a type of flower. Can’t you see it? A boquet of labias. I’m going to the meadow to pick some labias. Mmm, those labias smell good. Be sure to give your labias plenty of sunshine, and water them every day.
I work as a video game tester for a company that does children’s educational software. A lot of our titles have profanity filters. On one title, a tester had written a bug that the filter wasn’t catching a lot of bad words. The guy who had written the bug was good at a filthy turn of phrase, and a lot of the entries were pretty funny, so I told the guy who sat next to me to check out the bug. He starts reading through it and laughing, then stops and looks confused. He turns to me, and asks, “Dude. What’s a luh-bey-yah?”
Years ago, I was in a chat room with some folks and one of them was soliciting names for her unborn daughter. She was keen on “Allayah” or some such, and I was the only one who pointed out to her that it lent itself to pronunciation “I’ll lay ya.”
I was literally booed, but I thought it was the kind of thing a parent should keep in mind when naming a child.
I was checking out at a store once and the cashier has a gold necklace that spelled out Labia. Normally I eschew any social interaction with strangers but I had to ask. So I asked her what her necklace said and she says"Zabia, that is my name". The font made the Z look just like a cursize L. It was a similar font to BlackAdderITC.
