Q: Consider a typical boy’s identify and a typical lady’s identify which are pronounced the identical although they’ve solely two letters in frequent. And if you happen to reverse the boy’s identify, phonetically you may get one other frequent lady’s identify. What names are these?

I am not staying awake worrying if the pronunciation is precisely the identical, nor am I going to query whether or not the reversed identify meets the definition of phonetically sounding like a lady’s identify. I am simply going to see if NPR sends again an e mail response this week.

Edit: I used to be hinting at “Sleepless in Seattle,” “When Harry Met Sally” and “You have Received Mail” by Nora Ephron.

A: Aaron, Erin –> Nora
