Since I've lived in America most of my life I have incorporated American culture into most everything that I do. This is especially true when it comes to my name (it's pronounced carry-on, like the luggage). I always pronounce my name when introducing myself with an American accent. My director at works does not, she is American and is not of Filipino decent which is why this is so funny. My name is of spanish descent due to the Spaniards colonizing the Phillippines. It is not unusual for Filipino's to have spanish sounding names. She loves to introduce me as "Ed-Reek Carreeyon". This has always puzzled me since I don't even introduce myself like that.
