HelpRe: Hispanic (Mexico) First and Last Names Common in the 1800s
in reply to a message by RamSolo
I'm not knowledgeable about 19th century Mexico, but FYI you can find interesting historic names using findagrave.com (you could put in the cemetery location as Mexico, make up a year of birth and select +/-25 years).
Here is an example search:
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/search?firstname=&middlename=&lastname=&birthyear=1800&birthyearfilter=25&deathyear=&deathyearfilter=&location=Mexico&locationId=country_45&memorialid=&mcid=&linkedToName=&datefilter=&orderby=r&plot=&page=1#sr-216144037
Some names that came up (born 1775-1825 and buried in Mexico) were Indalecio, Catarino, Sinforoso, Basilio, Ignacio, Ponciano, Epitacio, Silvestre, Alexandre, Gabino, Casimiro, Luciano, Quirino, Eustaquio, Vicente, Cenobio...
I sort of like Cenobio, Catarino, Casimiro, or Indalecio for a character. Jose, Diego, Manuel, Antonio would have been more common, though.
