Good work comrade, that is helpful, though the party doubts the need for triple redundancy of linkage

I can think of more later... Hope this helps!
Note: A lot of (though not all) SPanish names can be converted back and forth between male and female. Some aren't as obvious as you think they are, though..

I can help a lot with that.
Whatever you do, avoid names like Juan or Maria (nearly every single spanish/latin guy/gal in movies or tv shows are called Juan or Maria or Jose or Manuel). Some names are strange (Petroncia, Edilberta, Abejundio) and thus rare. Keep in mind that a large number of people will have foreign names, or combinations of local first names and foreign last names, etc.

If you want more specific help just PM me, or if you need to proofread your story to find common mistakes, I can point them out. Like, for instance, most of those babynameworld names are crap.

See? Unlike the producers of MacGuyver or JAGS or someother think, not everyone is called Maria, Jose or Juan. And not every latin american and spaniard (from spain) is a Mexican.

I used the term 'Mexican' because most of the (real) people named are Mexican. There's a few from El Salvador and Honduras in that list, but most are indeed Mexican.
But you're right, Mexican is not a generic term for a hispanic or latino. Argentinians are different from Mexicans, and Brazilians don't even speak Spanish.

I didn't say you believed everyone who speaks spanish is a Mexican, I was talking about the movie media. But now that you mention it, there's a lot of variation in names, and you need to find out more or less specifically about the country you're looking for. For instance, a lot of names in Argentina are italian, and a lot of names in Chile are German. Mexico and Spain are probably two of the very few that have 99% "spanish" names.
