Fun with backwards words

1. Take your name and spell it backwards.

Maldre = erdlam

2. Try to make it into an actual word.

erdlam = terd lame

(If you can’t think of a word, try spellcheck.net, and it will suggestion word variations).

3. Respell it backwards, and you now have your NEW NAME!

Emaldret

Here’s a few more:

Spudart = tradups = trade ups = Spuedart

Chicago = ogacihc = ago chic = Chicoga

Saaristo = otsiraas = outside = Edistuo

Happening right now on Spudart: Press a leaf in an envelope with the date and story written on it until 2026-10-31

LOL! One of my alter egos is Otsiraas Mot! He’s the manager of a White Hen Pantry. Say it out loud “Oat-see-rhas-maht” :oD Where did your “t” come from in step #2 above?

1. Jennifer = Refinnej 2. Refine edge 3. Eg deeni fer If you like this kind of word play, you might like “verlan,” which is a form of slang very actively used in French. It is similar to this — you take a word and put its syllables in reverse order, and then make it into a real-sounding word. Jennifer separated into syllables is jen ni fer Reversed is: fernijen There is a great article about it here: http://french.about.com/library/vocab/bl-verlan.htm Cheers!
