The Opposite of Kevin

English first names might be all the rage in Mexico ^ELZR, but haven’t you noticed how American Hispanic last names are starting to sound? I’m not just taking about Jennifer Lopez, Cameron Diaz, or Ricky Martin, I’m talking biotechnologist Juan Enriquez ^WP, essayist Richard Rodriguez ^WP, ^ELZR, dancer David Bernal ^YT, ^WP, Google’s George Reyes ^WP, ABC’s Elizabeth Vargas ^WP, filmmaker Robert Rodiguez ^WP, Synopsys’s Brian Cabrera ^F, cartoonist Michael Ramirez ^WP, YouTVPC’s Sam Martinez ^WSJ, actresses Sara Ramirez ^WP and Michelle Rodriguez ^WP, jurist Alberto Gonzales ^WP. It is not my intention to give a Hispanic hit parade ^WP, my only point here is how through habituation these most Latin of last names are getting an English ring to them.
