Since it seems like this is about the dissonance between given and family name (Aerith and Bob in one person, as it were), are Mercedes Jones, January Jones, etc. examples? They're not Mary Jones, but they're not Hephaestus Jones either...

edit: Yeah, the entire \"other\" section is not this trope.
Also a lot of \"full-name-of-historical-person lastname\" examples are here. Maybe make that it\'s own trope?

Also, the Cristero War (Elías Calles\\\'s anti-religion laws) and the \\\"Mexican Miracle\\\" period in the forties and fifties were completely ignored, along with all the other good things.

Or mention movies made during the \\\"Golden Age\\\" of Mexican cinema featuring actors such as Pedro Infante, Pedro Armendáriz and Cantinflas.
This page needs a lot of improvements; I think I should help - we have to show the best of ourselves to the world. We can\\\'t completely put aside our problems, but we can\\\'t ignore our qualities. It\\\'s okay to be self-deprecating, but not in excess.
