Has he ever explained why the female leads in several of his movie first and last names started with "V"'s?
Billy Madison: Veronica Vaughn
Happy Gilmore: Virginia Vennet
The Waterboy: Vickie Vallencourt
Little Nicky: Valerie Veran
Also odd: Mr.Deeds: Babe Bennett
Punch Drunk Love: Lena Leaonard
Has he mentioned a specific reason? Is it a superstitition thing?

Very interesting indeed. I shall smoke a pipe pondering the rationale of this as I await the answer.

And the double "V"'s seemed to pop up in every other movie.
I personally think it's a superstition thing myself.

The use of alliteration in names is an easy way of getting the audience to remember the character. The same thing was done in Stan Lee comics. Peter Parker, Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Scott Summers, Bruce Banner, etc. |

Stan has actually said he did it so he could remember the names. |
