Figured **drad dog** was someone named Goddard, but of course I don’t know for sure. If you reverse my first name, you get “flu”–which is what you might get if you FAIL TO WASH YOUR HANDS. Hmm. Reversing my middle and last names gets you “eht dehsawnu,” which doesn’t get us anywhere interesting. I don’t think I’ll be putting in for a name change to “Flu eht DeHsawnu” any time soon. ---

> [@yendis](#): > > I didn’t pick up on most of the names mentioned so far. Yeah, Senegoid blew me away — because he’s so familiar (long-time Doper), and for most of those years there was a different Doper named Diogenes — but mainly because “senegoid” sounds like an obscure but real word, maybe meaning “moon-like.” Or better, “resembling a West African.” ---

Der Trihs didn’t flip a name, so much as it’s[from the Schlock Mercenary webcomic](https://www.ovalkwiki.com/index.php/Lieutenant_Commander_John_Der_Trihs). > [@Green\_Bean](#): > > Uosdwis R. Dewoh. > > Spoilering it so you have a chance to guess what it is if you don’t already know: > > It’s Homer J. Simpson upside-down. Can’t quite figure out that D, though Blame Chief Wiggum, or the writers for not wanting to say “Jewoh.” [Here’s the screenshot](https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/491524568419278848/2g3G187M_400x400.png), they could’ve easily fixed it by making the “r” have a more stylized loop. ---

> [@thelurkinghorror](#): > > Der Trihs didn’t flip a name, so much as it’s[from the Schlock Mercenary webcomic](https://www.ovalkwiki.com/index.php/Lieutenant_Commander_John_Der_Trihs). Then the writer of Schlock Mercenary flipped the name. The point is that the name is something written backwards. ---

An anagram, not a reversal, but I was recently pleased to find that my name can be made into Asgard Error Inn. Not only do I want that as a username, I want to start a hotel.
