Except for Ines Osorio Soto, most of the above are obituaries, which is to be expected given the stats are mostly from the early 20th century.

So Ines was in rare use as a male name in both the USA and Mexico in the 20th century. Perhaps the two non-Hispanic examples from Georgia and Louisiana came from confusing Ines with "Innes".

---

Perhaps the Hispanic examples go back to giving a boy the name of a saint whose feast day was the day he was born?
