Reversed Letters

It’s interesting to see how certain names become an entirely new (and plausible) name when backwards, while others just become total unpronounceable tongue-twisters.

Eileithyia spelled backward is Eiyhtielie. Try pronouncing that!

A few of my favorites…
Evaluna: Anulave (Interesting! This feels like it could almost be a name. Almost twinning with @Strawberry.Bunny’s [name_f]Evalina[/name_f]!)
Dahlia: Ailhad
Alaska: Aksala (This is cute!)
Olga: Aglo
Anjali: Ilajna
Klara: Aralk (Belongs in a fantasy novel)
Juno: Onuj
Gaia: Aiag
Olympia: Aipmylo
Anastasia: Aisatsana
Roscoe: Eocsor
Oskar: Rakso
Rasmus: Sumsar (Ooh!)
Caspian: Naipsac
