I was adopted by a Hispanic father when I was 4, so my name is kind of weird. I have your typical American first name and then the Hispanic Trevino. It was always a pain for me to have to explain first, the pronunciation, then, where the name came from, and no, I am not Hispanic, my dad adopted me so I got his name.
Thank goodness I got married and now have an ...Englishish last name. Even if it gets spelled wrong all the time, it is never weird to explain :)
