I didnt read the original post as saying it is more poetic to put the guys name first.

I read it as poetic, meaning something just "sounds" better than something else in certain situations with the given example just putting the guys name first. Okay that explanation even confused me.

Let me try again. Fred and Ethel just "sounds" better than Ethel and Fred to me. And Lucy and Ricky just "sounds" better than Ricky and Lucy for some reason. I just dont know what makes one "sound" better than the other.

To me, both Snow and Grant, and Grant and Snow "sound" poetic. I thought it might be because they are both one syllable but that doesnt seem to hold true in all cases. Smith and Jones sounds better to me than Jones and Smith...that might not be syllables as much as familiarity with a certain order.

Daywalker was right....it didnt start out as a trick thread but...........
