What started out as a search for a Twitter username (my usual handle is too long, and my name is common enough that the standard variations are already taken) has devolved into simply searching for humorous anagrams of my name.
Ninja Metros (or Metro Ninjas)
Nine Sort Jam
Neon Mist Jar
Mist Nose Jar
Men Into Jars
An Minor Jest
Jet Rims Anon
Men Join Rats (or Rats Join Men)
Jam Is No Rent
Jar Me In Snot
Janitors Men
My favourites are currently "Nine Sort Jam", "Jam Is No Rent", and "An Minor Jest" for the cringe it evokes amongst grammatical pedants (which, given that I myself am one, makes it ironic). I was running with NinjaMetros for a while because, well, Ninjas are cool (there's no P in my name, so the relative merits of Pirates isn't an issue), but after a while I found it a little nonsensical. Metro Ninjas has better imagery, in the sense that one can visualise a metrosexual ninja – or can one? I mean, all you can really see are their eyes.
Anyway, back on topic: which do you prefer? Do you have a favourite anagram of your own name?
I'm still in two minds about adopting one of these as my username because they have little actual connection to me as a person and most people don't think in anagrams.
