I was talking to a co-worker the other day about her and her partner's children--between them they have 5 girls (11-year-old triplets, a 9-year-old, and a 5-year-old). She was saying how they hate to write out all the girls' names when signing Christmas cards, etc., so sometimes they sign their names and then "The Fab Five". :b I suggested using an anagram of their first initials (couldn't think of one off the top of my head) and she said they already sometimes do that as well--C.A.M.E.O. :) Chloe, Alexandria "Allie", Madison, Emily, & Olivia. The last 3 are the triplets, btw.

Then I was watching a movie tonight called C.R.A.Z.Y. (a very good one, btw), about a French-Canadian family in the 1960s and 70s. The title--relating to the Patsy Cline song that was also a part of the story--spelled out the first initials, in order, of the five sons in the family. They were Christian, Raymond, Antoine, Zachary "Zac", and Yvan. I don't know why a sibling anagram never occurred to me before, but I think it's kind of a cute idea. As long as it's not terribly obvious, and the word's not in bad taste. Like "crazy" probably wouldn't be my first choice, but apparently it wasn't done on purpose with this family. :b

What do you guys think about this? Good or bad idea? No opinion?

And hypothetically--just for fun, only if you wanna, LOL--what would your anagram be? (If this part needs to be moved to the games board, just let me know.)
