My name. I’m called Calla after the Calla lily, which is pronounced CAH-luh. Read a book where the narrator kept saying it CAW-luh. Ig who’s to say how a name “should be” pronounced, but every other Calla I’ve met in real life says it like the lily.

Surprised I haven’t seen The Grapes of Wrath mentioned yet - the actual amounts that the labourers are being paid has changed a bit, but the attitudes of the landowners and the sheer, gut-gnawing desperation of the working class felt uncomfortably relevant when I read it.
