AnagramHow about "Fern " since that is a anagram of Jennifer and it is actually a real name too.

Actually, "Fern " isn't an anagram of "Jennifer ", because an anagram has to consist of *all* of the letters of the word which you are anagramming. For example, "Weslyn" is an anagram of "Selwyn ", because all 6 letters are used in making the new name.But "Fern " is a good suggestion for a middle name, Selwyn ! :)-- Nanaea

Ooops :) (txt)I seem to have misunderstood something there then :)
Thank you for telling me so that I do not misinform others.
Yet, what is it then called when one makes new words out of a name/word without using all the letters?
Does that have a name at all or how?-Selwyn

It's called a "partial anagram".
