Anagrams-R-Us

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] kaysho for directing me to this site for generating anagrams, http://www.wordsmith.org/anagram/

A simple version of my name can be rearranged to give, TRYING SOT,
ORGY STINT and the tough-guy alias GRIT TYSON. But my favourite has to be the ultra-romantic GINO TRYST (which I'm thinking of using as a literary pseudonym.)

GINO TRYST

Ha, ha: I can just see Gino, with his big sleazy grin and huge Italian brown eyes..."You are a woman too often alone," Gino would whisper into a widow's ear.

My personal favorite was Trying Sot! How funny.

You must have a go. I put Ailz's name in and came up with thousands of anagrams. Most of them make no sense, but there are some I love, my favourite being "Gaslit Irene".

My name is so long--I had to remove some extraneous single letters.

Here are a few:

Cane Jerkin (I know I am not particularly stylish, but clothing made out of canes and reeds? How Eve-ish of me!

Jack Nine Jig (I just can't leave the party until dawn)

Jack Jeer Kin Oh, dear.

Jan Neck Jig I am just a dancing fool! And apparently a contortionist as well.

Raj Knee Jig A pattern emerges. And now I am a high-ranking Indian. I wonder if I have a cobra in a basket for my act. I must attract quite a crowd, doing dances with my knees and neck.

Ajar EEG Jink I am quite sure I am ajar with all this wild dancing and high-jinks. And now I must have an EEG to assess brain damage.

When I was fourteen, I made up a secret language based very loosely on the Greek alphabet, and I also made up a big phony name for my Writing. Here is what I selected by typing out various names on my grandmother's manual Royal typewriter:

Senasia Zeorsio

I like Jan and Jack- I see them as medieval entertainers. But the neck jig- I dunno- that has slightly sinister connotations.

Oh, of course: But what a wonderful way to describe a hanging! (And the fitting end to a lifetime of high-jinks and low-jinks and dancing until dawn.)

Hehe, that shall be my new alias! ^_^

*chuckle* It's funny how far this has spread for an LJ entry on which practically no one commented.

I already suspect that I'm going to have to call my first novel, "A Darkish Loch of Wry", just to see if anyone notices. :)

Truly yours,

A Rich Lad Shy of Work (if only)

There wasn't time to comment. We all had to rush off and try it for ourselves.

I'm just getting into Philip K Dick. A Darkish Loch of Wry sounds like it could be one of his titles. :)
