Even in Guatemala my name is difficult. Karn is odd to them, although Karen is a bit more doable. At my language school in Antigua, I settled for Carmen..it was easier for my teacher. Here on Lake Atitlan, I have a new teacher, Pedro, and we were talking about my name. So I was explaining how even in the U.S. my name gives people problems. Not only Karn, but especially because my last name is Carroll. Pedro laughed, and then said he had the same issues...his last name is Juan...Pedro Juan...another person with two first names.
So it is like Deanine speaks of frequently...as soon as I begin to think how different things are in Guatemala from the United States, something reminds me of how much people have in common.
