I think N-Dear (endear) and A-Door (adore) also work for #3.
You have to be careful about the type of word, though. Admiration is a noun, while adore and endear are verbs. Nevertheless, it's still good thinking on your part, so I'll give you half credit for that one. ;)
Wow, 1/2 a credit...I'm so honored. I do see your point, though. BTW, good teaser, I only comment on the ones I like.
