New Rochelle, NY
In honor of that's not my name, my brother addressed my Xmas gifts to me this way.
That's not my name.
Merry Christmas!
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.

Talia & Mandy
December 11, 2012
Starbucks
New York, NY
Two times as fun!!
Two of my favorite people BOTH had their names destroyed by a hard of hearing Starbucks barista today. Perhaps NY is preparing for my holiday arrival.
Therefore...
Talia gets an extra syllable to be "Talahia"
&
Mandy gets thoroughly modern as "Milly"
... Except not. Like, at all.
That's not their names!!!

Not only is this not my name, it looks like a 5 year old wrote it.

Zack
Starbucks

New York, NY
This is especially confusing to me, because my friend's name here is Zack.
Zack = Zen. Maybe the barista was making a comment on his aura?
Still not his name.
