2. The following word pairs are related by a certain rule. Can you determine what it is?

Answers:

1)
DOLLY - LLOYD

The paired names are anagrams of each other. 
Note: AIDAN is also a palindrome for NADIA.

2)
The second word of each pair rhymes with the opposite of the first word:

BLACK (WHITE) - TIGHT
STRONG (WEAK) - SEEK
FISH (FOWL) - SCOWL
GOOD (BAD) - PLAID
HIGH (LOW) - THOUGH
