Well as far as I know Ratka/Radka was born and raised in Bulgaria, but fled from Zhivkov's regime in the eighties. She is too cosmopolitan and refined not to know the proper spelling of her name, so there has got to be aanother explanation: one possibility is that shwe chose "t" because the "d" sound does not exist in Greek, and sounds somewhat awkward to the indigenous ear -- "t" sounds more familiar (the Greek delta sounds softer that the "d", somewhat like the sound "th" in "the").
But enough about theories, I have a better idea: I'll ask her, next time I go munching on her delectable creations.
