Extreme Tedium and Anagram Madness

I have always had a thing for naming things. I just love a clever name with hidden meanings or subtle comedy. At a startup I worked at I suggested the name R.I.D.S because it was a meaningful acronym for the product but also because RID is a lice shampoo and, ironically, the software was full of bugs. On a hiking trip one of my friends had the best day of his life when we discovered the intersection of Woodcock and Kitchen-Dick road. So in a moment of extreme boredom I wondered what anagrams were contained in my name. Some people think there are hidden meanings in anagrams that describe the person. I will let you decide.

Partial Anagrams:
  • Lace
  • Lame
  • Lice
  • Mellow
  • Molehill
  • Leach
  • Malice
  • Callow
  • Welsh (oddly, I am part Welsh)
  • Leach
  • Whore
  • Harmonic Relish
  • Camelhair Rhino (I am also part Camelhair Rhino)
  • Chimera
  • Mariachis
  • Her Archaism Loin
  • Maniac Relish
  • Maniac Hole
  • Rascal Heroin
  • Malaise
  • Carnal Heroism
  • Cholera Rain
  • Miracle Hair
  • Malice
  • Eclairs (I do love eclairs)
  • Mescal
  • Mohair
  • Cream Rhino
  • Harmonic Rash
  • China Harems
Complete Anagrams for my full name:
  • A Cleanlier Whorish Moll
  • A Ceremonial Shrill Howl
  • A Cashmere Hill Wino Roll
  • Each A Hornier Swill Moll

  1. Woah. Its like reading a diary of your life!
    I particularly liked Miracle Hair -- you have very fluffy hair.
    What is an Archaism Loin? Is a Harmonic rash something you get from a guitar strap?

    Also, Kitchen-Dick represent!

  2. Archaism: In language, an archaism is the use of a form of speech or writing that is no longer current.

    Loin: the region of the hips and groin and lower abdomen

    It doesn't make much sense but it could be an old word that means crotch or something...
