About Me
- Satima Flavell
- Perth, Western Australia, Australia
- I am based in Perth, Western Australia. You might enjoy my books - The Dagger of Dresnia, the first book of the Talismans Trilogy, is available at all good online book shops as is Book two, The Cloak of Challiver. Book three, The Seer of Syland, is in preparation. I trained in piano and singing at the NSW Conservatorium of Music. I also trained in dance (Scully-Borovansky, WAAPA) and drama (NIDA). Since 1987 I have been writing reviews of performances in all genres for a variety of publications, including Music Maker, ArtsWest, Dance Australia, The Australian and others. Now semi-retired, I still write occasionally for the ArtsHub website.
The Dagger of Dresnia
The Cloak of Challiver, Book two of The Talismans
Available as an e-book on Amazon and other online booksellers.

Anagrams, sweet anagrams! Who'll buy my anagrams?
Sunday, December 07, 2008 | 
Posted by
Satima Flavell
Over at The Internet Anagram Server (or "I, rearrangement servant"!) you can create anagrams of anything you like. Some bloggers are showing off neat anagrams of their names. Good fun, I thought, so I went and played for a while last night. I tried several of the many handles I've had in my 65 years (my names are legion) and here are some of the results:
Lama flails vet (An eye-catching headline, that!)
Calf Veal Roll (New recipe, Jo?)
Cavalry feral moll (No, no, not me, surely. That's got to be one of those amazing women created by Glenda Larke or Marianne de Pierres.)
Calf Removal Rally (The Animal Rights Activists annual convention?)
Carload in (Yeah, well, these days I guess I am.)
Canard oil (I'm a carload because of all the duck oil I've ingested?)
Rani La Cod (Queen of the Fishes? Ok, so it was codliver oil.)
Lady Valve Elf (A hotrodding fairy?)
Anal cut Troll (Sorry, Troll lady - made a mess of the lad's circumcision.)
The best anagram for SATIMA on its own was "aims at". Yeah, and usually misses...
Strangely, there are no anagrams for FLAVELL on its own. If, as the site assures us "All the life's wisdom can be found in anagrams. Anagrams never lie", then I think we have a problem, Houston.
On the other hand, maybe uniqueness is a virtue.

Satima --
I wouldn't even try to find an anagram for Marilyn or for Tomlins
Marilyn
And Marilyn Z Tomlins would be amazing!
I will have to go and have a look and see what I come up with.
OK just tried anagrams, I can't think of any comments to make about the results though. My full name of Josephine Wake produced anagrams in their thousands. The best of those, that I read, were Heap Wine Jokes and Shake Jeep Wino. For my family name Stud Not seemed a good choice.
I must sit and try to figure these out but my name is not being very easy about it.
My name produces these (amongst a zillion meaningless others)
Jail Miller Rue It
(I need to stay on the right side of Karen Miller!)
Jail Tiler Lemur I
Ritual Rime Jell I
I guess it will be OK as long as you don't play Monopoly:-)But of course you can always jell your opponents with Ritual Rime!
Moi? Write about feral molls on horseback? Lol...
Glenda, if you decided to include feral molls on horseback in one of your novels, they would be the very best-depicted feral molls and steeds that ever were:-)
