Cindy L. Rodriguez: Hello. My name is Cindy L. Rodriguez. My full first name is actually Cindy, not Cynthia, which is often the case with people named Cindy. My middle name is Lorianna, which was my great-grandmother's name. My last name, Rodriguez, is a very popular Hispanic last name. My father is Puerto Rican and my mother is Brazilian. Often in Latin families, the mom's last name becomes the child's middle name. My parents did this for both my brother and sister, but not for me. If they followed this pattern, I would have been Cindy Andraji Rodriguez. Instead, they used my great-grandmother's name as my middle name, so I am Cindy Lorianna Rodriguez. Pronounced with a Latin flare would be Cindy Lorianna Rodriguez.
