My last book is titled, Adelaida : A Cuban Cinderella by Ana Monnar
Nancy Michaud (Illustrator)
Linda Weinerman (Editor)
Synopsis On the island of Cuba lived two sisters named Adelaida and Marisol. Although identical twins in appearance, their personalities were as different as night and day. Adelaida was noble and loved to help others. She understood that the situation at home was not easy. On the other hand, Marisol believed that the world revolved around her. Will the sisters' actions affect their fate?

From now until July 30th, 2009, submit a name (first & last) of someone you know--or a fictious name. You can even submit your own name if it fits what I'm looking for. lol
I need a male name, suitable for a 50-ish cigar-smoking man.
