The Many Names of Resha Kate Tinley

My name is Resha Kate Tinley. People call me "Resha Kate." Sometimes they call me "Kate" or "Kate Kate." Occasionally someone will call me "Resha," but Mommy and Daddy never planned for that to happen. Daddy calls me "Reesee," a natural phonetic variation on "Resha." (The double es in Reesee are in honor of my Mommy, who is Ashlee with two es.)

Now, both "Resha" and "Reesee" are similar to "Reese's." Thus I have been called "Resha's Pieces," "Resha's Peanut Butter Cup," and "Resha's Puffs." (Reese's Puffs® is a cereal; I often see its commercials when I'm watching SpongeBob.) More commonly these chocolate-and-peanut-butter-inspired nicknames are shortened to "Pieces," "Peanut Butter," and "Puffs," respectively. I'm fond of these names (even though Reese's brand products are made by Hershey's and likely contain cocoa that was harvested by slaves).

Here's the rundown of names you can call me:

• Resha Kate


• Kate


• Kate Kate


• Reesee


• Pieces


• Peanut Butter


• Puffs
