Ahh, the mind as it resists all efforts at sleep. Who can explain the wanderings and permutations of thought, or the "pairs" and patterns in our family?
- Milton and Mildred.
- The family groups include girl-boy-girl boy (Kent and Ann, Kerry and Melissa) and boy-boy-girl (Richard and Debra, Eric and Shannon). Jeff and I had no children. Alan made his own pair by having twins.
- The two girls among the siblings married into the names Crandall and Wrathall.
- Typing a list of the family names might wear out the letter A key. Alan, Ann, Aaron, Allison, Audrey, Ashlynn, Afton.
- The surname most revised by a two letter transition: Wrathall to Warthall.
Are there more? Only another bout of insomnia will provide the answer. . . .
How about all the names that are trochaic spondaic, or stressed, unstressed, stressed, stressed:

Alan Mark Smith
Phyllis Ann Smith
Eric James Smith
Kerry Kirk Smith
Ethan James Smith
Gerrit Dean Smith
I can't remember all my nieces and nephews middle names so there's maybe more.
Good one! A holdover from our grandfathers' love of poetry? Grandpa Norman wrote it and Grandpa Smith owned several books of poetry.
