My initials are JPK, but I use my second given name over the first. You see, I am a product of a mixed marriage, my mother is Japanese and my father is Irish Canadian. In homage to both my cultural heratiges, I was given a Japanese name and an Irish name. Unfortunately, one of my names is mispronouned so often (it was driving me CRAZY!), that I use the other as default.
