I absolutely love the idea of using anagrams to create names for people, locations and buildings in your stories. For instance, the past couple of years, it has been a tradition to include someone in your novel with an anagram formed from NaNoWriMo. The favorite is Mr. Ian Woon, (after all he is the original!) however I have included: Winona Rom, Ian Monrow, Noma Orwin, Mona Orwin (they were in diff. stories) and Norma Wion. I have also had someone live on Manino Row. We have a restaurant in our area that is named Mannino’s so it was kinda close to home anyway. I loved it.
This site is AWESOME for creating simple anagrams and advanced anagrams. You can just randomly create all Anagrams based off a word or set of words, or you can narrow it down a little bit more and use only proper names, etc. by using the advanced anagram area. Love it!!
What do you think??
Oh, and this year, I believe Mari Onnow and Ami Nornow will be appearing somewhere in each novel. I think one is going to wind up being an old friend from high school, the other will be more strategically blended in.
Are you going to try using anagrams in your novel?
