CISRA Puzzle Competition 2011 - Hints

2B. Look Both Ways

• The words lead to two names, each of which might be considered a nickname. But what links them? It's an enigma...
• What you seek is a new kind of Riddle you can use; take the answers, fro and to, in the order of the clues
  
  ... but we'll never, never hint for you.
• You've had two hints already; surely you don't need more than those first and last clues.
