Name Anagrams

Slightly off-topic, but hopefully language-related enough to stand the scrutiny of moderators. :wink:

So for some odd reason that I canā€™t remember, I started searching for anagrams of my full name (first, middle and last), and came up with a few that I found interesting enough to share. An anagram is a word or phrase spelled by rearranging the letters of another word or phrase. I played around with this online anagram solver.

In particular, I was looking for phrases that meant something, that felt associated to me. Itā€™s interesting to be able to find phrases using up all the letters of your name, especially when those phrases can be revealing. Here are the oneā€™s Iā€™ve found so far (Iā€™m not really comfortable listing my full name here where it will appear in google search results, but suffice it to say my first name is Nathan, nickname Nate). Whatā€™s really cool is that the best ones Iā€™ve found kind of tell a story when placed in this order:

  1. The teen satan rebels.
  2. Has tent, enable trees!
  3. Tree-Nate less bent, ha!
  4. An earth beetle nests.
  5. Tree bashes lean tent.
  6. Nestle beneath tears.

So, what interesting anagrams does your name create (whether first, last, first and last, and/or first, middle, last)?

Sweet! ;D

ā€“Reappear Grass Jinn, aka Reaper Grasps Ninja

Heh. ā€œyarrow dreamerā€ gives:

  1. Area worm dryer. (Perhaps your duty amongst your rewilding community will be that of drying worms?)

  2. Ya drew armorer. (Aha, your second duty will be to be the armorer!)

  3. Ye marred arrow.

  4. Dare remarry? Ow!

  5. More dreary war.

  6. Yarrow ram deer. (yarrow dreamer, you ram deer? Thatā€™sā€¦ odd)

I had to use less than my full name, otherwise I got a lot of unusable things that sounded too similar. I have two middle names, one being long and very Danish.

My screen name comes up with nothing in English.

Jeer Leek Merely I

hmm, ā€œI am a Smart-Ass Leekā€. Well, I can think of much worse things to beā€¦

Eerily Jeer Elk Me

thatā€™s right, elk do like to eat leeks, donā€™t they?

I just canā€™t get the picture of Shrek saying ā€œTheyā€™ll shave your livers, squeeze the jelly from your eyes!. Actually, itā€™s quite good on toast.ā€ out of my headā€¦

*A Can-Be Herb Rocker

*my faves

Oh! I love ā€œa can-be herb rockerā€

I used my first and middle names. A disproportionate number of them had to do with toilets, evil, socialism, and erotica :P. I changed the word order of some so that they made more sense.

It relocates evil
Creates evil toil
Oscillate ever it
Eclair tile stove (yummy)
Laciest tie lover
Evillest erotica
Creative lie slot :-
Ace toilet sliver! (a strange kind of superhero?)
Celestial voter I
Clarities Eve Lot (I like this one; it sounds kind of Biblical. If only one of the Tā€™s in my name was an F.)

Mmmmmm. Too bad eclairs arenā€™t paleo.

A disproportionate number of mine had to do with boners, bras, and cocks. Ack!! :o

  3. archer spake
  4. packā€™s hearer (maybe aiā€™m a good listener?)
  5. a rapersā€™ heck (ai sure would like to torture those assholes >:()

I had the same idea and checked out my full name a few years ago:

recalcitrant nomad

Needless to say I was very happy with that one ;D

Perfect!!

I like picking up ancient threadsā€¦

And I very much enjoyed the internet anagram server just now, thank you!

My nameā€™s anagram is ā€œmythic find.ā€ Not bad.

My 8yo daughter wanted to know what hers was too. A lot of options came up for her name, most of which didnā€™t make much sense. We decided we liked ā€œfart itch heirā€ best. First I had to explain to her what ā€œheirā€ means, and then we pondered ā€œfart itch.ā€

Anyway, itā€™s easy to see how this topic relates to rewilding, isnā€™t it? Because it makes us laugh, and laughter has prehistoric originsā€¦
