Username CarManPaCo is -in deed- the contraction of my full name: Carlos Manuel Pacheco Cortés; a male from Guadalajara , capital city of the State of Jalisco. According to Latin American tradition, and from Iberic origin, most of Mexicans are baptized and registered with two surnames (mainly father's family name first, followed by mother's family name so). Aproximately a half of Mexicans has only one given name, as in the case of my father: Octavio Pacheco Sánchez; while almost the rest of us has two given names (Carlos Manuel), although for English tradition I would choose only Carlos.
