Ana Siqueira: My name is Ana Claudia. I have two names and it's not a middle name. In Portuguese, it's like Mary Anne. So you have two names. So my name is Ana Claudia, but when I moved here, I didn't like the way they say Claudia because they say CLAW-dee-ah, and I prefer CLOW-dee-ah.. So I chose to be Ana. So that's how you say my name. Ana. Ana banana. Just like that.

A lot of people call me Anna and that's okay.
I'm okay with that. But really the way you pronounce is AH-na. Ana banana. My full name is Ana Claudia Cordeiro Siqueira. Because in Brazil, the way we do our names, we have the last name of the mom and the dad. And it's different than in Spanish because the Hispanic names, the name of the dad comes before the name of the mom. So, for example, I would be Ana Claudia Siqueira Cordeiro because Siqueira is from my dad, Cordeiro from my mom. But in Brazil comes the mom and then the dad.

So my name is Ana Claudia Cordeiro Siqueira.
And if they ask me, "What's your last name?" It would be Siqueira. It would be my dad's name. That would be the last name. But we have two last names, so my name is really long, but it's not as long as my mom's because my mom puts her mom, her father. My mom is Dallia Piñeiro Cordeiro Rodriguez Siqueira. She put all the last names. But, yeah.

But my name again, to repeat the pronunciations, Ana Claudia Cordeiro Siqueira.
And that is my name. But if you want to call me Ana banana, that's okay too with me.
