My name is Cara. 4 letters. That's all. In Italian it means Dear, in Spanish it means Face, but anywhere else in America it is apparently gibberish. This is a problem I have had all my life: Giving a name for a reservation, a drink at Starbucks, or any kind of take out order becomes a horrific process that is both time consuming and traumatizing. Everyone will invariably butcher this very small 4-letter name. I cannot be silent about the oppression of my name any longer.

ReplyDeleteCLESCL. Its an ancient celtic name that means "She who bathes with perfume only." It was my great-great aunt's neighbor's eldest daughter's elementary school teacher's name.
ReplyDeleteCora. Or Cura, which is misspelled. Should be Currah. Also, hi :)
