Find Your Name's Best Anagram
 

This page does it for you. Pretty damn funny.

Baraka_Guru: AUGUR A BARK

Cool.

Lend more?

Nope.

I won't tell you my real name, but it anagrams to "EMETICALLY WARM HEDONISM". Which creeps me right the fuck out.

Apparently I'm so un-anagramable that it doesn't even bother.

I suppose there's really only what.. 4! possibilities? Right? 24?

EDIT:

Looked it up, with a repeated letter, the number of anagrams is reduced.. it's 4! / 2! = 12 possibilities.

As an exercise, wrote them all out.. boorrrrrring

As an aside, I considered the likelihood of someone dedicated reverse-engineering Redlemon's entry and retrieving his actual name, and I'm kinda a nerd for computability.


EMETICALLYWARMHEDONISM is 22 characters, so upper limit of calculations is 22!.

However, there are a number of repeated letters:

E E E
T
I I
C
L L
Y
W
A A
R
H
D
O
N
S
M M M

Leaving us 22! / 3! * 1! * 2! * 1! * 2! * 1! * 1! * 2! * 1! * 1! * 1! * 1! * 1! * 1! * 3!

Which simplifies to 22! / 3! * 2 * 2 * 2 * 3! or 22! / 288 =

3,902,780,304,783,360,000

Even making some assumptions about length of anagram words (>2 letters, with notable exceptions like Le, Hu, Ha, etc) and number of words (2 or 3), it's academically but not pragmatically computable. You could write an algorithm that spit out 'likely' 2 and 3 word anagrams with greater than 4 letters that have matches against a first name in boy/girl birth name popularity database but you'd still need a human to ascertain if the middle and last names seemed relevant.

And after all of that, you'd still not know with 100% certainty because in a data set that large (3 quintillion?) you are likely to hit quite a few that are full proper names.

how disappointing: OUR QUILT

pretty damn pedestrian.

as for my real name, its anagram is much better: STARK BRICK TRAUMA.
I do seem to have that effect on people.

Try: DEAR VIRTUE CELEBRANT

Maiden name with middle name included: Cage or Gangrene
without the middle name: Care Egg Ogre

Married name with middle name included: Nascent Orange
without the middle name: Nectar Egos

That was fun. Thanks.
*grin*

Nascent oranges sound delicious! As do nectar egos.... Yum.

Are nectar egos made from nascent oranges, you think?

no one can top this one, I bet:

hazily rejectable bowel

ew.

MM, is that with or without your middle name? :lol:

NERD!!!!!

Actually, the thought crossed my mind before I posted. I'm impressed that the VERY NEXT POST in the thread did the math for me. :thumbsup:

that's with my middle name.

you know, MM, if you juggle your maiden and formerly married names you could get even more hilarity.

THE GREAT RED APE :thumbsup:

BOTCHERY ENTHRALLS PAIN

and with middle name

HELLISHLY ABERRANT POTENCE

Barack Obama: ABACK A RAMBO

George W. Bush: HE GREW BOGUS

Good try, or Best try?
