What Happens When You Have a Korean Name in America

It struck me the other day, that despite the fact you, Jojo, are Korean fully and I am not, I have a Korean name.

Here are some of the things I have been mistaken for over the years instead of "Arah"......

No. 1:

Autumn

No. 2:

Auburn

No. 3:

Ada

Yeah, I don't actually know who Ada is.

No. 4:

Otter

Possibly my favorite nickname yet! And it does sound strangely like my name...

No. 5:

Arya

As in Eragon's heroine. This one will really crack you up, but many people actually think my name is spelled this way. :)

No. 6:

Aria

There are actually real live people named Aria, so it was a good guess!

No. 7:

Aura

Not entirely sure where the inspiration for that one came, but I was called Aura just last week.
No. 7:

Aurora

That's it!

So next time you get called 'Joanna', remember all of the possibilities... muahahaa!
