my GF\'s middle name
hello all....not sure if there's anything that anyone can do to help me with this HUGELY important problem.
my GF is extremely embarassed by her middle name and won't tell me what it is. she promises to tell me if i actually do get it correct and i have procured a few clues out of her that narrows it down somewhat. i was hoping to put together some sort of print-out that lists every single possibility and just bombard her with all of the guesses until i get it. but i don't know how to write a computer program and i still have to large a range of possibilities for this to be realistic. anyway...the clues... she is of latin american decent....she says that she and her mom are the only ones that she has ever heard of with this name. 8 letters... begins with L ends with A 2nd letter is a vowel letters definitely not in the name include Z, Y, Q, W multiplying it out (5 possibilities for 2nd letter, 22 possibilities for 3rd through 7th letters) you get 25,769,160. that would be a rather huge printout. obviously possibilities like Laaaaaaa and Lalalala and Layoyoya and Lerrrhha are out. i'm assuming it's a fairly reasonably pronounced word and not a bunch of nonsense letters. perhaps i can find out if any letter is repeated back to back....i suspect the name does not use the same letter 3 times in a row sense that would be pretty weird. at first she miscounted and thought there wre only 7 letters (which also cut down the possibilites significantly) but she has now informed me that it's actually 8 letters. i told her that that fact alone took it from around 1 million to 25 million and she was rather proud of herself. guesses that did not make the cut when i thought it was 7 letters included Levitra (a TV commercial was on while we were talking about this) and LaBamba. anybody have any ideas on how i can go about this?? apologies if you think i am wasting everyone's time with this goofy post. |
