Monique Leonardo-Carlos: Hello, my name is Monique Leonardo-Carlos. And yeah, my legal name is actually Cora Monica. So on paper, my full name is Cora Monica. Yeah, I was named after my mom, and her name is Cora Marie. And when I was born, they named me after her. So my name is Cora Monica. And Cora is from the word Corazon. And that means heart. And Monica means maiden counselor. Or at least that's what a Google search has told me. So my legal name is Cora Monica, but I've always been called Monique by family and friends, and that's really the name that I fully identify with. And I think what's funny is that my name Monique Leonardo-Carlos seems like three first names. Monique is a first name. Leonardo can also be a first name, like Leonardo da Vinci, or Leonardo from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. And Carlos, which is my married name, can also be a first name. So yeah, that's my name. Monique Leonardo-Carlos.
