My Opinion & Consistencey

My Opinion on what naming convention we should use: that which our
relatives used: Given Name, Fathers Surname, Mothers Surname

If we go mixing it up with the US style where sometimes the mothers
Maiden name goes in the middle then that will only lead to confusion.
but if you absolutely need to use that naming style at a bare minimum
you need to "Announce" that you are doing that. I think it is fair to
say that many if not most of the people on this list are using the
Mexican Naming Convention.

Just in case it isn't clear let me give an example: Julio de Jesus
Puente Varela ---his given name = "Julio de Jesus"; his fathers name
"Cecilio Puente" and his mothers name: "Dominga Varela." [Julio de Jesus
happens to be my GG grandfather born in Rancho de Animas, Santa Maria de
Los Angeles, Jalisco in 1852].
