Hi

I tried both formulas for

aabb
bbaa

both have 2 consecutive consonants but I get in both different results for the 2 strings.
Please confirm.

Hi pgc01, I also thought that there were 2 consonants in the whole name, but the OP put 2 examples with the first consonant letters.

in the name and surname columns.eg name Ndoluvo and surname Khaye


My question is if the name and surname, if both have consonants at the beginning, then True.

Hi Dante Amor

Good point.

I assumed that we are testing each name separately because in post #1 there are 2 cells with True, but let's see what the OP says.
