Pronunciation

My name is in Spanish. It’s pronounced with an audible ‘R’ at the end: Javier. I use Arbona or Arbona-Homar (the H is completely silent and pronounced “Omar” with emphasis on the last syllable, like this: omár). I don’t have a middle name. Arbona is my paternal last name, therefore I’m not “Javier Homar” nor “Professor Homar.” Professor Arbona is fine.
