Not a game, but rather an experiment for me to get some feedback on how appealing (or unappealing!) some anagrammed names might be. Here’s how this works:
Give me either your first name or the screen name that you prefer to use, PLUS a word that you feel best describes you. Yep, I know it can be difficult to describe yourself using just one word, so make it a good one!
I will blend both together in anagram to create a (hopefully!) plausible first and middle name for you.
Then you rate your resulting name as follows, on a scale of 1 to 3:
1 = That’s me!
2 = Hmm… I guess I might use it, if I should need an alias because I’ve become a professional exotic dancer.
3 = Yikes!
OOH, can I be first with this one, I wonder? I seem to follow [name]Nephele[/name] wherever she goes, like [name]Mary[/name]'s [name]Little[/name] Lamb.
One word summing me up though? [name]Do[/name] you mean a characteristic (like an abstract word) or a concrete noun? Can you give us an example? I want to do this!
[name]Hi[/name], [name]Ailsa[/name]! The word that you choose can be abstract or concrete. Noun or adjective. It can be something obvious, or something that holds meaning only for you.
Oh, more fun with [name]Nephele[/name] ^^ I love these things, you do an excellent job!
[name]How[/name] about using my chosen name [name]Adelaide[/name] and the word “fire”? I’ve always felt connected to fire, and only recently had a complete stranger call me a “woman of fire” so it’s a good word to use ^^
Alternatively, you could use flame instead of fire or my user name, Dearest, which is what I try to go by on the internetz…
I don’t know which combination would be the best to make anagrams of, so now you have more ways to get a good one ^^
[name]Ailsa[/name], you asked for an example so, in addition to what Dearest gave, I’ll do one for myself.
I have always loved the ocean and I always feel happiest when I can dive into waves or dance on a sandy shore. So I chose the word “Oceanid” (a word for an ocean nymph from Greek myth) to describe me. My name makeover is:
Thanks, [name]Nephele[/name]! I love your synonyms. I think I’ll go with [name]Clover[/name] for tonight, and then I’ll rotate.
If you’re feeling bored, I love flowers with all of my heart, so if anything works with flower-lover, I’d love to see the result. (Only if you’re in the mood, of course.)
1 [name]Arabella[/name] [name]Rois[/name] - My favorite. I think this name is beautiful. I found this very interesting since [name]Arabella[/name] means “beautiful altar” and [name]Rois[/name] means “rose” it really fits with my spiritual connection to trees and nature. It’ is my favorite as far as sound and flow are concerned as well.
1 [name]Ariel[/name] [name]Rosalba[/name] is also very pretty. [name]Rosalba[/name] = white rose. This name feels like it has an angelic innocence to me.
2 Abriella [name]Rosa[/name] I love the the “brie” in Abriella and I do love [name]Rosa[/name] If this name was [name]Brie[/name] [name]Ella[/name] [name]Rosa[/name] I’d give it a 1. Actually if the name was [name]Gabriella[/name] [name]Rosa[/name] I’d also give it a 1. It’s still a pretty name I just like the other two better.
Fantastic!
[name]Amadea[/name] Fidelle gets a 1 from me, [name]Amadea[/name] might be one of my favourite names ever ^^
Deidrie LaFaye will most definitely be my stripper name if ever it comes to that XD So that gives her a 2…
[name]Fidelia[/name] Deare sounds great, but takes some getting used to… She still gets a 1, because she’s very lovely once you get to know her, just like me ^^
What’s also interesting, is that although I could never use [name]Felicity[/name] or [name]Fidelity[/name], both [name]Felicia[/name] and [name]Fidelia[/name] would be very possible… I tend to like the softer, less spunky names for some reason ^^
Keep up the [name]Lovely[/name] work, [name]Nephele[/name]!
[name]Jill[/name], I’ll work some flowers into your name and be back later. Any particular flowers that are your favorites? Oh, wait – I know. I’ll check through my Language of Flowers and select flowers that have symbolic meanings that match up with those words that you chose to describe yourself. ([name]Clover[/name] was my favorite for you, too. Thanks for the feedback!)
Thanks for the feedback, [name]Lisa[/name]! “[name]Arabella[/name] [name]Rois[/name]” would have been my first choice for you, too!
Dearest, yes, “Deidrie LaFaye” could be your stripper name! Hahaha! I agree! Thanks for the feedback!
[name]Jill[/name], the best flower I found to work with your name is the Calycanthus. This flower’s symbolic meaning is “benevolence; good will and kindness to all.” I also had to alter your name a bit (I added a Frenchy-looking “e” to the end of it). Here you go:
