ArchivesRe: On-going project, anyone? For anagram enthusiasts!
in reply to a message by Nanaea
A brilliant idea. And incontrovertible proof that anagrams are not off topic -- in fact, they are quintessencial to what is "behind a name", to misquote Epictitus.
Extra credit for palindromes and quintuplet anagrams :)

Why am I not surprised that you're probably going to wind up being the main contributor to this project? :) *Extremely* cool start, P.L.! I'm most impressed! Off the top of my head, there's not much I have to add to the "A" List this morning, except:
Aaron - Anora
Aleria - Ariela
Ashlee - Sheela
Ashlie - Sheila
I think I may choose one of the other 25 letters of the alphabet later today, and get started on that.
Since you'll most likely be contributing most of the anagram names, I'll take major responsibility for keeping the master list alphabetized and cross-referenced. We have GOT to persuade Mike C. to put the Anagram Name List on his site! :)

Being hampered by my non-native-english-speaking-status I cant vouch that all of my 'grams are bona fide names. Eg: can "Lardon" and "Lassie" be included? In addition to compiling the master file, G.N., your editing skills should help avert any such embarassments!

"Lardon" is a new one on me. Can't say I like it as a name, though, as it sounds too close to "lard-butt". As for "Lassie", who says we can't include pet names too, in this list? Lots of people give their children pet names, anyway -- like "Buffy" and "Bambi".
I guess we'll have to choose maybe one or two name dictionaries as our "authority" for the names on the list. We could take a vote on which dictionaries to use -- bearing in mind that the dictionaries should be comprehensive and include so-called "foreign" names as well as variant spellings.
What do you think? (Everyone who participates in the project is invited to post an opinion here, not just me and P.L.)

Not only do you receive an extra credit point for turning my triplets into quadruplets, but you also receive three "cool points" for joining in. :)
Your "Jason - Sonja" and "Brian - Brina" have been added to the Master List, as well.
Psst...! Choose a letter quick! Before P.L. takes 'em all! LOL!

You're having fun, aren't you? :)
At this rate, I think I'd better start with the "Z List", and work my way backwards to meet up with you. :)

"Z"
Nooooooo! Don't take a break! You're on a roll! This is great -- just keep going! :) Other people (like me!) can always go back to the beginning of the alphabet and fill in additional pairs and/or groups later.
Here's my Z List:
Adiza - Zaida
Andraz - Zandra
Ariza - Zaria
Eliza - Zelia
Ireza - Zaire
Raizel - Zelira
Razina - Zarina
Roza - Zora
Rozina - Zorina
Suez - Zeus
