George Ancona: Hello, my name is George Ancona, but that's not all. If I were to live in Mexico, my name would be Jorge Efren Pasqual Ancona Diaz. Jorge is George. Efren is my middle name, which is my father's also. Pasqual is my confirmation name. Ancona is my father's last name and Diaz is my mother's maiden name. This way people in Mexico know immediately who your father and mother's family are. But my friends and family call me Georgie. And I remember my mother calling from the window, "Georgie, ven a comer," which means "Georgie, come and eat."
