Strokes can leave a similar effect - including mini-strokes (Transient Ischemic Attack). Following a minor stroke, I was left with a problem with a specific group of words - aggravate, arrogate, exaggerate, aggregate etc. I know the word I want - e.g 'arrogate', but I will say, write or type another word - e.g. 'exaggerate' or 'gravitate'. A couple of neurologists have told me it's not an uncommon residual effect of strokes.

My mother used to do that with her kid's names. She'd start with the oldest (me) and count down to the youngest, or she'd run the reverse course and start with the youngest and finally get to me. My only sister died in infancy from a birth defect, so at least she didn't have to cross gender lines.
I used to think my name was Wodin, Ted, David; or David, Ted, Wodin. Ted was lucky, he was always second to be named.
