Hints: First I should remind you that Puzzled Pint Mode is available if you check the box in the top right. Treat the phrase "every other one" as applying to letters. In some cases, you want to ignore odd letters; in other cases, ignore even ones. (In any case you should disregard spaces entirely.) The resulting names all have something in common. The answers are the people (or animals) who "picked which one you keep," so to speak.
