Hi Anthony, Really nice indeeed, just one small point when you mention the Spanish naming tradition. You've got it wrong. See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_naming_customs#Generational_transmission
You wrote: For example, if a couple named Jesus Gonzales and Maria Moreno had children, their children would use the 'surname' Moreno Gonzales. The correct order in Spain (the one in Europe) would actually be Gonzales Moreno (paternal+maternal). And the maternal 'Moreno' would be dropped when naming the children. It's extremely confusing to tell you the truth, and i'm used to the Portuguese two-surname tradition that's basically the same, except it's maternal+paternal. It may be that you're right when describing those traditions when applied to some other Spanish-speaking individuals, but in that case don't call them Spanish or you'll risk confusing your audience.
