The Ars Magna as a Source for Magical Names

[Shanara]

Greetings. I'm an associate of the author of the Diadem series currently being published by Llewellyn Books, and the author has provided me with a link on his website whereby I might anagram magical names for any visitors to the site.

I've been anagramming names for a number of years now at various websites on the 'net, for free and for anyone who asks. I've logged onto this site under the name "Shanara" because that is the name of a character from the Diadem series that I'm using at the author's website.

If anyone would like me to provide you with a magical name here, I only ask that you SCRAMBLE the letters of your first, middle, and last name for privacy, and let me know whether you are male or female.

Alternately, you can e-mail me your name in privacy from the author's website, and I will e-mail you back your anagrammed magical name.

From the website: "A typical 'magical name' might be 'Celestia Silvermoon', which is an anagram of the name 'Olivia Rose Clements'. An anagram is a rearrangement of the letters in a word or phrase. Anagramming has been called the 'Ars Magna' -- which is not only an anagram, itself, of the word 'anagrams', it also means 'Great Art' in Latin."

I sent an email to you

Greetings, Pearls59. I got your e-mail and will be working on your name tonight. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding day! You sent me the name that is becoming yours, but if you'd also like to send me your birth name I'll be happy to work on that one for you, as well. Then you can decide which of the two resulting magical names "calls" to you.

EDIT: Never mind -- just noticed your name in your e-mail address. Will work on that tonight for you, as well.

Except my birth name isn't what showed up in my email. Burnside was my maiden name.

edited to say...Thanks for the congratulations!

[Bix]

E-mailed you, too.

[RubyRose]

Emailed you.

I keep forgetting I don't have a well rounded name. Too many of the same letters. :lol:
Some of the names are okay though.

[MagickalHack]

There were two that yelled at me, with equal strength.

Is it possible to have two Magickal names; or am I just delusional?

emailed, you. Thanks!

My new magical name: Genisis Wildflame


Thank you so much and such a quick response. Lots to choose from, but I think I liked that one best. It called to me.

1111

[Jolantru]

Wow. I like both of the names. However, the second name calls to me more. I love the sound of SkyWing. Gives me the feel of flight... which makes me think of my animal ally.

Thank you very much. :)

1111 and Jolantru, thank you for sharing your chosen names on the board here.

1111, the "Genisis" part of your name has additional meaning. Even though "Genesis" (meaning "birth; origin") is spelled with two "e's", I spelled your name with two "i's" so that the last part would incorporate the name of the goddess Isis. It's a bit of a play on the word there, to signify an individual who originates from Isis.

Jolantru, I also got the feeling of free flight from your name, before I started working with it. You made a good choice.

I've been swamped with the metaphysical fair this weekend...but want to take the time to thank you for doing this...I'm still deciding which one calls to me.

Hope you had a good time at the fair. Looking forward to hearing what your choice in names might be.
