This list includes several English martyrs. It also contains several Old English names. Most, as you can see, are single names. Where two names are shown, the first is the Christian name, the second is the surname or family name. 1. raladde..................................Adelard (Rose of York) 2. ralshec arekb..........................Charles Baker (Clare) 3. gerro craaaddwllo....................Roger Cadwallador (Poesy) 4. dddsteeiu...............................Deusdedit (Rose of York) 5. addeeehlrt..............................Etheldreda (Poesy) 6. hacdrri ttsnhfeeor...................Richard Fetherston (Poesy gets a half point.

The Concise Oxford Dictionary defines an anagram as a word, phrase, or name formed by rearranging the letters of another, such as spar, formed from rasp. So, strictly speaking, these do not qualify as anagrams. But they do make an interesting puzzle. Edited by SeanJ, Monday, 15. December 2008, 22:40.
