Capone's full name was Alphonse Capone. Aldrin Klordane is a similar name with the same number of syllables and the same meter (strong syllables in the same place: AL-phonse, AL-drin, ca-PONE, klor-DANE.) --Kandei
So both names start with "Al" and end with "ne". But is a certain similarity between syllables really enough to call it a pun? Okay, maybe I don't get it because I'm not a native english speaker, but it looks a bit farfetched to me. --Toni 09:58, 22 December 2006 (EST)
