The usernames **der trihs** , **enipla** and **nadnerb** are all reversals of other words/names (for der trihs, the words are reversed individually). Not counting palindromic names, are there any others among the denizens of the SDMB?

I searched ‘ralopirt’ to see if it was a word and got links for ‘tripolar’.

took me a minute to figure out the clue you gave for that name.

If I reverse my name, google want’s me to be a drug for treating high blood pressure.

For the OP, now that you ask, I can’t think of any beyond those already mentioned.

missed the edit window because the question was too obvious to see right away.

Is **dtilque** a take on “Euclid”?

Nope. My user name is the most boring kind: first initial and last name. The last name is unusual, so that’s not obvious.

No, my location is in the “location” field, but _that_ I did reverse. If you know of someone with my last name, it’s almost certainly one of my cousins.

I see now that that was in the OP but I missed it because it wasn’t bolded. My apologies.
