>> Aguilar-Aguilar?! Ortiz-Ortiz?! Wtf is going on?

Spanish naming custom. In both cases, the first name is the family name - the father’s surname - like Smith or Johnson here in the states. The second name (after the hyphen) is the mom’s family name - which we don’t use in the states.

Both Aguilar and Ortiz are fairly common south of the border.
