Have Letters, Need Names!
24
Mon, 02-26-2007 - 7:03pm

Can you form any names that you like, whether traditional, modern or creative, that are made up of only subsets of the following letters: PADANETNLRAINCEIYA?

Each letter can be used only as many times as it appears in this "word," for example: there are 4 A's that can be used, 3 N's, only 1 Y, and so on. And any possible name should have at least 4 letters, but there is no upper limit on letters. I've found several names in there, such as Anna and Alice; but I know that there are lots of creative people that participate in this board, and I'd love to see what you can come up with!

(The backstory is this: we've realized we probably shouldn't use Patricia, my personal favorite, for reasons WAY too convoluted to explain in a short message (trust me, long story). So the letters above come from Patricia plus other family names.)

I put "PADANETNLRAINCEIYA" into an anagram generator figuring it might find a few more names that haven't already been mentioned, and it might interest you to know that these exact letters can also spell out the phrases:

A calendar pen tin
A placenta red inn
Ada can ripen Lent
Deanna can let rip
Eat and crap linen

Just a little fun. ;)

Including those mentioned above, it showed (or I saw) Clara/Clare/Claire, Carla, Enid, Dana, Lana, Alanna, Anna/Ana/Ann(e), Delta, Pearl, Perla, Ada, Adele, Adela, Adelia, Adeline/a, Elena, Elina/Lina, Eleni, Elain(e), Neela/Nila, Neila/Neala, Annelien, Dara, Daria, Darla, Ida, Dianne/Diane, Diana, Deanna, Eden, Edna, Danica, Natalie, Linda, Andrea, Adriana, Aida, Aila, Aileen, Nadia, Adair.

There are literally thousands, so have at it! ;) http://www.mbhs.edu/~bconnell/cgi-bin/anagram.cgi?cpw=1&phrase=PADANETNLRAINCE

Really, there are so many names that can be had using these letters, it seems you might do better to find some names you actually like (not that you don't like any of these) and see if they're in there. LOL

Enjoy!

I know many of those have been mentioned, but I don't really remember which, so sorry for repeats. ;)
