I'd like to help you if I can. I was born in Puerto Rico but grew up in New York. I've only been playing out of the park for a few days but I noticed some mistakes in the default lafnames and lanames files. There are some African-American sounding names I noticed in the files, like Cordell, Jermaine, Cedrick, etc. I've never met any native Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Venezuelans, Cubans, Colombians, Mexicans, etc. with those names. There are also many common Latino names that are not in the files.

Also names vary from country to country in Latin America like they do everywhere. True you'll find a lot of Jose's in every Spanish speaking country, but you will also find names that are unique to a particular country. Examples - I know a Cuban dude named Lenin Rodriguez, a Dominican named Wellington, and a Mexican named Otilio. I don't know any Puerto Ricans with those names, so they are probably unique to those countries.

Anyway, let me know if I can help you. I'm new to game, but I'll try my best.
