I imagine this name becoming a generic thing. Like Fido for dogs and Polly for parrots. Pretty soon people will say "She's a LaShonda." instead of saying "She's ghetto."

Shonda in itself is a hideously ugly, harsh-sounding name, and adding a prefix to it almost seems like a statement that goes a little something like this: ''she's not just trash, but she is THE trash, LA trash, LAShonda'', if you get my drift.
As if Shonda wasn't bad enough. LaShonda is a stupid, tacky ghetto name that will not be taken seriously. Knowing that Shonda is Yiddish for "shame", you could say that LaShonda is "THE shame"! Now, that isn't the real meaning, but it would suit a ghetto chick who complains about everything.
