what is in a name? that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

What is in my name? Only 5 letters. K-A-C-E-Y. I know there are only a million other ways to spell "kay-see"... But it bothers me to no end when people spell my name wrong. I just got a response to a work email (with my name spelled correctly 1. in my salutation: Thanks, Kacey; 2. in my signature: Kacey Barker; 3. in my email address name.) addressed to "Casey". That is not even close for one second. I occasionally get addressed as "Kasey" here and there as well. But there is really no excuse if you are writing on my Facebook wall and my name is on the screen you are writing on or on an email where my name is already spelled correctly multiple times. Hey, typos happen, I get that. But spelling "KACEY" as "CASEY" is not a typo. Its a careless, rude, annoying mistake.

Maybe I am more aware of how people spell their names because my name is always spelled wrong, but nowadays names are starting to have the strangest spellings. We need to take that into consideration from here on in. Who is with me?
