Maya Christina Gonzalez: Hi, my name is Maya Christina Dereus Smith Gonzalez. A very, very long name that contains all of the love that I have in my life, all the different names from lots of different places. But it is such a long name I don't think I've met anyone with a name quite as long as mine, but I just tell kids when I meet them to call me "Bob", and in fact, I sometimes make kids join me in a really loud yell of "Bob!" It's so fun and it makes us laugh and then later on when kids call me "Bob" I always laugh, you always laugh, so if you meet me and you call me Maya Christina Dereus Smith Gonzalez, I will respond. If you call me Maya Christina I will respond, if you call me Maya I will respond, but if you call me "Bob" we'll have a good laugh together.
