This is my name, I like it because it isn't very common, and because I'm named after my dear and wonderful father, Carlos. But the tyranny of the "K" has altered my quality of life. The past fifteen years, whenever I give my name for paperwork purposes, I have to say "Carla with a C." Drives me nuts.
