Your firstname doesn’t match your lastname

Sidney,
Katy, TX

My name is Sidney and my last name is Rodriguez, based on my last name you can assume I am Hispanic. My whole life I have had people who say “Wow your name is so White, but your last name is so Hispanic” and even said, “You need to marry a man with a White last name so it matches better.”

To be honest, and probably because I grew up listening to the combination, I greatly like my name. I don’t want it to be any other way.
