How do you say "antojar" y "tocayo" in english?
"Antojar" when a person is talking about food, or you watch a food advertisement and you start to feel hungry because of that.
"Tocayo" is a person who has the same name as you. it doesn't have to be exactly the same, it could be the nickname too, For example here in Mexico, a person whose name is Humberto and Alberto can be "tocayos", because the nickname for both is "beto"

I would probably use "crave" for antojar. As in "After watching a show about Japan he had a craving for sushi".
For "tocayo" I think the word most often used is "namesake". As in "I talked to your namesake yesterday.." meaning "I talked to the person with a similar name as you"

I think "antojarse" can be translated as "to feel like". For example, "Now I feel like eating a cheeseburger!"
"Tocayo" has no translation in English.
