Just do a google on something like "mexican authors", or "mexican artists", etc. That'll give you a list of names.

Here's what I got


Esquivel, Laura
Fuentes, Carlos
Paz, Octavio
Rulfo, Juan
de la Cruz, Sor Juana

but they usually only list the language- like 'latin' or 'spanish'-- and I think (I could be wrong) that popular mexican names are probably different to some extent than the ones that are popular or in use in other hispanic countries.
And then Mexican American names are probably also different to some extent. Plus, when you look up names in a site index, you don't know if it's a name anyone would really use- not being familier with the culture. (notice the names in the baby book you'd never name your kid- Bertha, Gladyse, ect.?

I was hoping someone more culturally familier would be able to help me out.

Ms. P would be the best one to ask. PM her, maybe she's checking in from time to time?

Here are names of sexy Mexican ladies I perved on when I lived in Texas..

Raquel, Luz (means "light"), marisol, blanca (the name did not do for me, but the woman who wore it.. Wow!), Lupita.

And some of the Mexican guys were..

Alejandro was hot and so Enrique. Manuelito was vaquero and had a the cutest tightes little tushie. THen also you have the sort of boring common names that were held by yummy people like Carlos and Juanito.

I like Marisol and Lupita-- is Juanita the fem form of Jaunito? That could maybe work.

also found Madra, Majondra (although I have no idea if it's Mexican or not), Malaya (Filipino), Maleah (unkown origin, means unique little girl, beautiful young woman) Merci, Margarita, Maribel, Adriana, Belinda, Catalina, Dulce, Elena, Savanah, Siera, Tierra, and Rosalia.

So I guess I answered my own question.

Still, will be happy to hear from Perdy when she comes back

Did you just have a multiple or what?

(Don't check for Re: PM, cause you won't have one.)

It's sharp, but it's not for the use indoors. So, why don't you just come in?

About to direct play about Mexican life in the '30s. Characters names are Fidel, Tonia, Salome, Berta and Celestine. Authors first name Josephine. Not names I saw listed above. Eric

"Josephine" is ordinarily written "Josefina," which is on the list. Fidel is a boy's name. Tonia is there, but in full as "Antonia."

"Berta" is a good one, and "Salome."

I do not believe anyone is actually named Celestine; I always see it as a pseudonym, quite common in whorehouses, strip bars, and massage parlors, for instance. It would never be spelled like that by a Spanish speaker, because it would have to be pronounced sell-ess-tee-nay.

I always liked Estrella, myself.
