What's in a name?


Throughout the course of the day, I may be addressed by any of the following:



Carol

Karina

Kah

Det (don’t ask)

Lebo (LAY bow-version of African name)

Mole (MOO lay-version of African name )

Kay

KAHren

Miss Kaye

Mrs. Kaye

Mam

Babelelo (my second African name, bestowed by a colleague that doesn’t like my original African name: Molebogeng)

Babe (BAH bee—version of second African name)

kk

However, there is ONE name I will never be referred to throughout the day, unless there is an American in the midst: Karen.

Soon!

PS. Photos are of recent sunsets. Enjoy!
