I have a logic puzzle I am really having trouble figuring out so I'd like to pool all of the minds I can to work on it! It's a 4 star puzzle which is really hard but I think that we can figure it out.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Logic Puzzle ****

A foursome of young women (named Alice, Betty, Carol, and Darlene), who were two pairs of roommates, were engaged to four young men (Elwyn, Frank, Gary, and Henry), who, coincidentally, were also two pairs of roommates. The surnames of the eight were Naylor, Nielson, Peabody, Penn, Ritter, Smith, Stoddard, and Todd.
Knowing only this and the information below, can you tell each person's full name, who was engaged to whom, and which people were roommates?
1. Betty's roommate and her fiancee were the only engaged couple with the same last initial.
2. Gary's roommate and his fiancee were the only engaged couple whose surnames ended in the same letter.
3. Frank's roommmate and his fiancee were the only engaged couple whose last names both contained a double letter.
4. Alice's roommate, who was the fiancee in the only engaged couple not yet mentioned, was the only woman among the eight whose surname was longer than her fiancee's.
5. Only one pair of roommates had first names ending in the same letter. These two were engaged to two people (who were NOT roommates) whose surnames ended in the same letter.
6. Only two of the eight had surnames that were the same length as their given names. These two were the same gender, but were not roommates; and the two people to whom they were engaged were also not roommates.
