NOPE.
That's Not My Name
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.

A night at The Magic Castle celebrating Becca's birthday. And at the first show I got called up to volunteer....
Through the powers of whatever may be not only did he find my card, but my name was on the back of it and it was spelled RIGHT!!!
THAT'S MY NAME!!!!

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.

I Don't Read Good
April 11, 2012
Starbucks
Hollywood, CA
Not only is this not my name, but when the second barista announced my drink, she somehow read this as "Carmen"
So it took me about 10 minutes to even realize that my drink was up.
Not. My. Name.

I've been gone for a while... My apologies.
But maybe this is why.
That's not my name.
