I have a friend named Fidel Castro. To fly from Canada to Costa Rica, his flight cannot have a connecting in the US. Is costly.

Apparently that name is not that uncommon for South Americans born shortly after the Cuban Revolution. First name that is. He just unlucky to also be a Castro. No relation.
