Given VN's penchant for anagrams, this tool might prove useful:

http://wordsmith.org/anagram/index.html

Some interesting results on the obvious ones:

Pale Fire: LEAF PIER, FEAR PILE, RAPE LIFE, A LIFE PER, APE LIFER, APE
FLIER, APE RIFLE, REAP LIFE, PA LIFE RE

(I like that last one especially)

Kinbote: BE I KNOT, BE KIN TO, BIKE NOT, BOT KINE, BON KITE, NOB KITE

Shade: HEADS, HADES, SAD HE

Gradus: A DRUGS, DRAG US, GUARDS, SAD RUG, AS DRUG

Maud: DUMA, A MUD

Aunt Maud: A DUMA NUT, A DATUM UN

Hazel: Hazel

Zembla: No anagrams found.


I include the last two because I like the poetry of there being only one
possible combination for Hazel, and there being no possible combination for
Zembla.
