My dear Austrian friends have quite a problem to find my website because they write my name with many different spellings: „Atamaika, Atamaica, Adamaika, Maica, Mayka, Maika, Adda, Ata, Atika, Atica, Atyca\u2026“<\/strong> And if we count all the nicknames I’ve had my entire life, it would add up to a ridiculous amount of ways people will try to find me in the internet.<\/p>\n

My mom meant well, she loved the name Atamayka. I’m named after the daughter of Venezuelan writer and humorist Aquiles Nazoa<\/strong>. What she never knew is that I would have to spend my whole life spelling my name to everybody, including banks, schools, at courses, etc. And that was not such a big problem until I started living abroad: I lived in the USA and I actually live here in Austria. Now, <\/strong>I not only spell my first name but also my two last names (in Spanish speaking countries people use both parent’s last names).<\/p>\n

The funniest thing is that I’ve been called the most incredible names also throughout my whole life<\/strong>, including Tamara, Jamaica (yes, like the island nation), Jakarta (yeah, that too), Attaka, and curiously „Ata“ happens to be a very strong household detergent here in Europe.<\/p>\n

All that said, today I’m happy to be also called mami, mama, darling, honey, and my love.<\/p>\n
