For the 1880's, I would stick with very traditonal names. Since most Hispanic people are Roman Catholic, many first names are those of saints. Here are some suggestions:

---

Jose
Luis
Miguel
Joaquin
Pedro
Martin
Antonio
Fernando
Nicolas
Alejandro
Gabriel
Andres
Tomas
Pablo
Marcos
Javier
Rafael
Mateo
Felipe
Daniel
Juan
Carlos
Salvador
Manuel

For the most authenticity, you should use accents that I haven't added in some of the names above. Also, Hispanic people often have two surnames due to the fact that they take their mother's surname and their father's last name (eg. Maria Novarro married Joaquin Flores and they had a son named Javier. His full name would be Javier Flores Novarro.
