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.

Starbucks
New York, NY
My friend Joy went to Starbucks today.
Joy is not only a fairly common name, it is also a well known noun.
Does this say Jorann? Joeann? Anything remotely resembling a name or even a noun?
No.
Epic. Fail.
