Robert Paul Weston: Hello. My name is Robert Paul Weston. When most people hear my surname, they think it sounds like a straightforward English sounding surname, Weston, and it is. However, what not a lot of people know is that my dad's mother was from Turkey. So things had been switched around a little bit, I could have very easily had a Turkish sounding surname. Likewise, my mother is from the Caribbean, and her father was from India, so I could have also had a very Caribbean sounding surname, or a very Indian sounding surname. I suppose the point that I'm making here is a very old one, and that is you can't really tell very much about a person just from reading their name.
