An anagram is a word created by rearranging the letters in another word. They can be fun, especially when applied to names.

For example, my name (in real life) is an anagram of "A Learned Worm", which I find quite fitting. My AG name is an anagram of Darken and Ark End.

So, I thought, wouldn't it be nice if we had a thread where we post ORIGINAL* (that means your own creations) anagrams, preferably of names?

Of course, if you're posting an anagram of your real name, don't actually post your name, because people on the internet are trying to kill you and whatnot. Better yet, just anagram-ize your AG screen name.

A useful tool:
Anagram Generator

Also, you can come up with anagrams for famous people.

Anthony Burgess = Nearby Gunshots

Have fun!

*Please don't spam this thread with lists of bad anagrams, or famous anagrams that anyone can find on the internet.

Ok, So! I'm glad to see this thread is having moderate success. There have been some great anagrams posted (Machines Learn being my favorite so far) and some... not so great anagrams. But that's okay!

Because, you see, I have some tips, of the helpful variety.

1) Play with word order. The generator just spouts out words. Sometimes (almost always) they're just gibberish. You usually have to rearrange the words yourself to give them meaning.

For instance: Vontje's anagram "envy no" obviously works better as "No Envy"

2) If you don't get very many good results, just add words to your name.

For instance:
I am [insert name]
[insert name], the man/woman
[insert name] is
The [insert adjective] [insert name]
{insert name] of [insert place]

etc.

Picking the right word(s) to add require a little finesse. Just randomly inserting words into the generator will be much too time consuming. Rather, look at the anagrams of your name alone, and try to think about which letters are needed to make it better.

Example:
My AG screen name, aknerd, is short for AK Nerd, which is short for Alaskan Nerd. But, more importantly, it's an anagram of "R naked".

Which means nothing. But "r" is just two letters from another word, "ran"

So, I add the "an" to both sides, and:

An AK nerd ran naked.

Shazam!

A complete sentence and an anagram.

REMINDERS
Just post a few good anagrams at a time, not lists of gibberish spouted by the generator.

Also, you can do names other than your own as well! (please, no AG members without permission.)

I can't find any non-generator-crap anagrams for my name at all.
Love Is Mr No is the best one is found XD. There are some cool words, but no full phrases that I like.

Well, I have found a problem with my short name on armor games. Koi is all I got and it's not a real word (coy is the correct spelling)

Man, I can't find any anagrams for my name that make any sense. I did find one somewhat funny one:
Mac Chief Jeer

Because my name has a J in it, it really throws a wrench in the works. All the other letters in my name are pretty common and can be used in lots of words.

I just found a funny one for my favorite display name (McAfreak):
Cake Farm

Here's a few funny ones for Linktopast. I had to pass it through several filters to get rid of useless words, and I could still only sift through them to find these two:
Pintos Talk
Tank Pilots

Even when using the advanced tool, it still uses a lot of obscure words. I chose to use English, not English using obscure words (I double checked). Also, the filter to not include certain words only works to a point. I can't get it below 463 anagrams now if I want to use two-letter words as the minimum. With three-letter words and up, I can narrow it down.
