I've never seen another Atenogenes! I have an Uncle Atenogenes "Teno" and cousin Candelario "Cande". As well as an Herminia, Hermenegilda and Filemon. Where are they from? We could be related lol.

Love Alphonse, Alois and Hildegarde

I my family tree Atenogenes Garza (Mexico in 1914), Hermenegildo Garza (1848, Mexico), Hermenegildo Garza II (1911, Mexico), Hermenegildo Garza III, Hermenegildo Garza (1926, Mexico), Candelario Flores, Herminia Rodriguez (1924), Filemon Flores (1901). All of those mentioned above are Mexican. The names might just be more common in Mexico (?) lol
I also like Hildegarde!

Woo! Also Mexican on my side. I know Candelario is after a religious holiday, so maybe the others are saint days?

Hermenegildo seemed to be quite popular, huh? I have an uncle by marriage whose ancestors always alternated between Sostenes and Cirilo. Of course he continued the cycle 😅

Yeah, it seems all the Hermenegildos in my family were named after each other!
