"Language of Flowers" Names (Nephele's Anagrams)

nephele · October 5, 2009, 5:34pm

[name]Imagine[/name] an idyllic place where people dress in Regency era clothing, and have family names based on flowers. Their old family mottoes are based on the symbolic meanings of these flowers, for in this land one’s flower is one’s heraldry.

These flower names all come from [name]Kate[/name] Greenaway’s 19th century published book titled Language of Flowers. Some of the names are French (from a French edition of Greenaway’s little book). All have symbolic meanings.

So, slip into your [name]Jane[/name] [name]Austen[/name]/[name]Lizzy[/name] [name]Bennet[/name] dress (or, if you’re a dude, pull up your Mr. [name]Darcy[/name] breeches), and prepare to get your new name for your passport to County Greenaway.

I’ll need a scramble of your name, and if you need help scrambling your name for me, you can use this scrambling tool at the url below:

– [name]Nephele[/name]
P.S. Most people here appear to be female, so I’ll just automatically anagram a feminine name for you, unless you tell me that you’re male.

YAY!!! Your so fun [name]Nephele[/name]!

nephele · October 5, 2009, 6:35pm

clarebear, I had to blanagram your name – and you get a French name:

[name]Arcangela[/name] Arbre
= garrgerlcaneba -g +a

Laurier Arbre: Gloire. [name]Victoire[/name].

– [name]Nephele[/name]

nephele · October 5, 2009, 6:50pm

disa_lan, you don’t exactly get a “flower” – but your botanical family name has a wonderful motto!

[name]Allicenne[/name] [name]Dawn[/name] Oats
= elsincetawaldnano

Oats: The witching soul of music.

My family loves music and we all have sensitive skin so it’s quite fitting . I’ve even liked the name Avena which means “field of oats” but keep thinking of the brand Aveeno.
It really is quite odd how Oats and The witching soul of music. fits us perfectly.

I was wondering what you’d come up with next, [name]Nephele[/name], and I love this idea! If you get stuck, feel free to use one of my old stand-bys, like [name]Jilly[/name] Trinket Bramble or [name]Trilby[/name] Tinkerbell [name]Jam[/name].

Oat hanky in advance,
[name]Trilby[/name]

clarebear · October 5, 2009, 7:35pm

[name]Arcangela[/name] Arbre is so pretty! I love it Thanks ~

nephele · October 5, 2009, 7:43pm

jill, you know I have to give you a new name – but thanks for saying you wouldn’t mind if I recycled one of your old ones.

You get a name from the French edition of Language of Flowers, and your botanical family name has a gothic motto.

Jilka Britlyn Tremble
= miblrjlyabttnrelike

Peuplier Tremble: Lamentation.

– [name]Nephele[/name]

cora · October 5, 2009, 8:29pm

Oooh! That’s great, [name]Nephele[/name]! Thank you so much!

Jilka loves her Peuplier Tremble status.

elsabea · October 6, 2009, 2:48am

Ooh yay, I love these!

Here is mine…

morhdoieryebalawtngees

Also I’d be really chuffed if you could them for my daughters too…

[As my daughters have two middle names, I’ve given you a scramble of their whole names, but also in brackets I’ve given a scramble using just their first middle name. Please use whatever is easiest for you].

agaaeeelmydieneolrnohsrthbew (or mewegrnenrodehaylao)

ssloasresgroeawotrihecdhren (or tgrworeoesdhrnahaese)

ongplhobejesmonioaweyjreed (or nwoeieeneardpembsgooljh)

Many thanks.
