Beatriz Gutiérrez Hernández: My name is Beatriz Gutiérrez Hernández. Most English speakers will call me Beatrice, which is completely fine. But the right way to say my first name is Beatriz. That is, Beatriz.
As for my last name, it's pronounced Gutiérrez for the first word, and Hernández for the second. That is, Gutiérrez Hernández. In Mexico, where I'm from, we use both our parents' last names. We've got father's name coming first, followed by our mother's. When I first came to the U.S., I only used Gutiérrez to avoid confusion. But when my mom noticed, she was a little bit disappointed. So now I use both Gutiérrez and Hernández as my last name everywhere. This way they're both happy and for me it's a way of honoring both of them.
