Word Games/ Fun:

Anagram Fun

-- LOL I had fun with this page... I typed in my name (in variations) and received the following "Aerodynamic as fine ash", "any of 'em dancers?", "canny as freedom", "as many enforced", "RE: Fancy Deamons", "Name day confers", and "mad reef canyons" It gives about 300 variations if there are that many, many of which make no sense, but a few do.

Word Frequency Indexer

Anagram Genius

I got "Handsome as a nice fairy", "A sane anarchy modifies.", "I am fiery, and chaos - sane.", "I fancy sorehead manias.", "A fair, shy, sane demoniac.", " A sane, aerodynamic fish.", "I am a shady, insane force." (some of these come very close to describing me!)
