Some of those Spanish sounding names are Islenos.
Like my grandmother 's maiden name is Rodrique. Her family traces their roots back to the Canary Islands, and before that to Portugal. But her people were Cajun through and through, in language, customs, cooking, etc. They adopted the Cajun Culture over the years, as did a lot of Germans from the River Parishes.

Since he listed "Vidrine", he's obviously from Avoyelles Parish.

I'm surprised on the 200 name list that Nguyen and Tran aren't on there.

Guillory? Never heard this one. Guidry is everywhere but Guillory?

In south Louisiana, or at least in Oakdale, Rodriquez is pronounced "Rode-riquez"
ETA: I see Devil Dog covered this at the top of the page.

Why assume the creator is a dumbass?

Did you grow up in S. Louisiana? You never run across ANYONE named Guillory? Really?

Surprised not to see Sonnier
