My Name: The Weird Equation

There was one Saturday that I had a chat with my friend, and we talked about scuh name stuff, like definitions of certain names, etymoligies, etc. It came to a point wherein we talked about my name. My name goes like this:

(First Name)
Rudolf - German
Valentino - Italian

(Middle Name)
Valderrama - Spanish

(Last Name)
Abunda - Spanish

Therefore, they are all European in terms of their origin. But my friend had a funny twist regarding this. 'Cuz she equated my name like this:

1 German + 1 Italian + 2 Spanish = 1 Filipino

Then I said to myself, "Well, she's got a very witty idea out of my name." 'Cuz even though my full name is definitely European in nature, I'm a natural-born Filipino.
