I’ll Smile When I Call You This

Back here I said:

Here’s another puzzle. The last one was really difficult. I don’t think this one is. I could be wrong — maybe I just don’t explain it well….

There are two letters that form names when they sandwich seven different vowel sounds: long A, short A, long E, short E, long O, short O, and double OO. [Again, those are the sounds, not necessarily the spelling.]

Who are all these people?

Maybe I didn’t explain it well…

The two letters are J and N which gives us Jane, Jan, Jean, Jen, Joan, John, and June.

  Now if you could just explain the titles of both posts, I will leave you alone and stop bugging you.
  
  I think you are looking for more meaning than is there. Both titles are derived from an often mangled quote from an old movie (The Virginian, originally 1914 and remade in 1946) simply because the puzzle deals with names. ~Tim

  Aha! I suspected it was a film reference.
  
  Merry After Christmas.
