Quoted from <3315@drutx.UUCP> ["Re: SF using lover's age differences"], by slb@drutx.UUCP (Sue Brezden)...
+---------------
| Larry Niven tends to have a great age mismatch between his lovers,
| also.  For instance, in Ringworld we have Teela Brown and Louis Wu.  
| And who can forget the lady with the horrible long name that Louis 
| finally gets?  (I'm not at home, so can't look it up.)  There are
| other examples, also.
| 
| What other SF writers have used this device? 
+---------------

Halrloprillalar.  (And you thought Romana's full name was bad! :-)

Of course the foremost example of this is Lazarus Long and Dora Brandon...
