Besides the name Estanislao has never had a 'd', in it! So the whole explanation on how spainsh speakers tend to erase this 'd' in words such as 'comio' instead of 'comido' is not accurate at all.
I totally agree with MrCorocotta. Almost all the names that appear in the video are badly spelled, especially those that contain a 'c' or an 's' which are usually switched in Spanish-American way of speaking.
I heard that the last 'californio' (descendent of the original spaniards who settled in California in the XVI c., who conserved spanish as mother language) recently dead ;(
The old custom for naming a child in Spain and Ibero-American countries was based on the Catholic religion. A child was named after the Saint who's feast day he or she was born on. This explains the Roman and Greek origin of many of these names. However by the 1500s there were many Saints from all over Europe, including Germanic and Slavic names. Arcadia, Gertrudes, Bartolo, Agustin, Sixto, Cesar, Ciriaco, Domingo, Isabel are a few of my elder's names from Puerto Rico.
