Stan Lee did that with his characters because he can't remember names very well, and he was scared of forgetting one of his own characters names!. So he made names like these so that if he forgot a person's name, if he could just remember either the first name or the last name, he'd at least know what letter the other part of the names starts with, so he'd be able to remember it easier!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
I always figured it was a just a quirk of the 50s/60s when these characters were created!.
It was a simpler time and I imagine creators like Stan Lee didn't think their creations would have the life span they have had!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

DC does it too; Clark Kent(not the same letter but the same sound), Lois Lane, Lana Lang,etc!., I guess it is so that the names are easily memorable!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
