Help[Opinions] Re: triplets
in reply to a message by Poetgirl
I think taking the double "l" out is better, but it's very obvious that they're anagrams. How about Aidan, Diana and Nadia, or Alice, Celia and Lacie? It seems less contrived.

How come those ones are less obvious? Because they have moe letters?

It's because they have different sounds despite using the same letters. For example, the "e" in Alice isn't pronounced, it's "eh" in Celia and "ee" in Lacie. This applies for Aidan, Diana and Nadia. They all use "i," but the letter makes a "yuh" sound, "I" sound and "ee" sound, respectively.
In each of the OP names the "el" sound appears, and in two the syllable "bel," which makes them obviously anagrammed.

For me it's just less noticeable. I've never even noticed that Alice and Celia have all the same letters, but with Ellba and Abell it's like punching me in the face with sameness.
ETA that I don't know why it is... it just is. Maybe it has something to do with all the L's being next to each other.
