Derek Jeter knows...

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
Hollywood, CA
Here's an interesting conversation.
Barista: "Your name?"
Me: "Cara"
Barista: "Is that with a C or a K?"
Me: "A C! Thank you for asking! It's C-A-R-A!"
And this is what we ended up with...
That's not my name.
