k.a.h. not c.c.a.

Rebekah. It's a hard concept to grasp for some people, but yes, I do spell my name uniquely.  Even now as I typed it, my computer has tried to correct me. And it seems as though people have commented on the spelling of my name rather frequently as of late.

  1. I went to a Twins game and one of the vendors asked if the credit card company mis-spelled my name. No.
  2. In an interview one person pronounced it Beak-ah. No. After politely correcting him, he told me he though it might be middle-eastern. Do I look like I have middle-eastern heritage? No. (side note:this was a particularly sketchy interview/"company")
  3. The very nice gentlemen at the garage told me he had never seen that spelling and that he thought it was very nice. Maybe he was just being polite, but I took it as a compliment anyway.

For some reason, I don't understand peoples confusion with it but perhaps it's because it is what I have always known...I like how my name is spelled and am happy my parents chose it. It is just another part of what makes me who I am I suppose, as cheesy as that sounds. And so ends the rant about the spelling of my name.
