Shawn Harris: Hello. My name is Shawn Harris. Harris is the family name on my birth certificate, but I recently found out through a DNA test that my father's father was actually named Lopez. But my grandmother didn't pass my grandfather's last name along to my dad. She had children from a few different men, and I think for the sake of appearances, she didn't want that fact to be reflected in a collection of last names for her children. So she reorganized the family tree without telling anyone and never passed the details along to my dad. I could have been Shawn Lopez, but I am Shawn Harris. Both names are pretty easy to pronounce.
