Some of the old hands will remember a wonderful poster, a Greek man known as Petros and sometimes by other names. He was a genius at anagramming people's names, and often impressed us with his delightful achievements. But he never considered using a name and its anagram together as a combo.

I'm sorry, but I have to agree with EsmeLily on this; anagrams are cool, but...it's a little too repetitive here.

I think that Abril Ema, Kaleb Dean, Etan Blake, and Mae Blair would be nicer alternatives.

Unfortunately, the combos have repetitive sounds so they're not ideal. Try mixing them up a bit. The combos are also the same names in a different order so I find them redundant. As a name nerd, repeating names is a wasted opportunity. It's just NOT right. It's a a sin in the name world (I'm joking - just a bit).

Example: Abril Blair has two hard "b" sounds and Ema Mae has repeated m's. I think they would sound better if you switched them to Abril Mae and Ema Blair. Of course, Abril Mae is too similar to the months April and May but I just wanted to demonstrate my point.

Again, for the boys, I would avoid the same letters and/or sounds.

I prefer April and Emma, Emma Mae is pretty
Dean is nice but Aden Dean seems to be too similar
Alec or Alex would be better
Ethan Nate is good
I prefer Caleb
