My New Name

So I finally broke and gringa'd myself out today by going to a pizza chain here in Chile, called Telepizza. I just had to have me some greasy fast food. I walked inside and placed my order, and when they asked for my name so they could call out the order, I said, "Jenn." 

Now I have encountered a few problems with Chileans being able to understand and pronounce my name - they end up saying Yennyfer, Yenn, etc, so I anticipated that when my pizza was done and they would announce my order, it wouldn't exactly be perfect. 

Some of my friends have suggested that I just use a Spanish sounding name, but I just don't feel like I can pull off Gabriela, Carola, Maríangeles, or Valeria. I just can't work it, I can't. I'm too fucking gringa. So I stick with my norteamericana sounding name, and deal with whatever implications may come along the way.

I saw in the kitchen that they had finished my order, so I braced myself, got in my "ready to receive package" stance, and hoped for the best.

"Personal cheese pizza for Juan??" the lady announced. 

You've got to be kidding me.

Fuck it, I'm going with Maríangeles next time.
