No offense, but I think that two of these are alliterations only in print; "Persistent Punki" and "Teacup Tornado" aren't oral alliterations because the accented syllables in each word-pair begin with different sounds: in the first, the accents are on S and P, and in the second, they are on T and N.</font>
They were only in print, so no offense taken. Also, you are free to believe whatever you want to believe.
alliteration
\Al*lit`er*a"tion\, n. [L. ad + litera letter. See Letter.] The repetition of the same letter at the beginning of two or more words immediately succeeding each other, or at short intervals
