[Brandan Ramnandan]

After reading the article and watching the video, my understanding of it is about your name and the deeper meanings our names have behind it. Also how sometimes we would hide the correct pronunciation because of not wanting to share those aspects. For example, my name is Brandan, my parents are from guyana and it’s a custom for them to always spell names a little differently because of the accent. My parents call me BRAN-DAHN, because that’s how our people speak, and even if my name was Brandon they’d still say it the same way anyways. I think everyones name has a background relating to maybe where they come from or just something deeper, I also think some people take a little time to begin to like their names because they may be embarrassed about their culture and things like that.
