Sdrawkcab Name | comment |
"Sdrawkcab" is spelled backwards. Some writers like to invent names this way. There a few different reasons: To create an unusual name: "Trebor" seems more exotic than "Robert". To reference a real person's name, usually an actor's or writer's name. To barely avert A Dog Named "Dog": instead of a robot named Robot, here's a robot named Tobor.note Probably shouldn't be used with "Dog" itself, though. To disguise a Meaningful Name: "Rotiart" is less obvious than "Traitor". To pair two characters, as Waldo and Odlaw. One of them may be the Evil Counterpart. This is a Super-Trope for: Alucard: This reversal of "Dracula" is so prevalent as to count as its own trope. Sdrawkcab Alias: A character reverses their own name to disguise their identity. Of course, this fails as soon as someone thinks to reverse the pseudonym. The technical term for this is an "Ananym". (And yes, it does spell "My Nana" if written backwards.) On a technical note, this trope is much more interesting depending on whether it's the sounds or letters that have been reversed, compared with whether it occurs in written or spoken form. For example, compare "Rotiart" (Roh-Tee-Art) with "traitor" (Tray-Tor); the letters are reversed, but the way English language rules work, the result comes out with noticeably different syllabic parsing and verbal rhythm. You might spot the trope in writing, but it sounds like a genuine name when spoken aloud. Conversely, reversing the syllables instead of the spelling can pass in writing, but may sound obvious when spoken out loud. A much less common option is to reverse the phonemes themselves, which would usually give something totally unrecognisable unless you actually played the result backwards. Also note that some other languages, such as Chinese and Japanese, assign whole syllables to each character, so while the names really were spelled backwards in their native alphabet, their English equivalents got Lost in Translation. This includes palindromes, such as "Maeda Ema" (spelled ã�¾ã�ˆã� ã�ˆã�¾ Ma-e-da-E-ma) and "Yamada Maya" (ã‚„ã�¾ã� ã�¾ã‚„ Ya-ma-da-Ma-ya). Sometimes, the reversed spelling may be altered to look a little more plausible and/or be easier to pronounce, like "strawckab" instead of "sdrawkcab" — as "st" and "ck" are common digraphs in English, which makes it look more believable as a word. Compare Steven Ulysses Perhero and Sdrawkcab Speech. Sub-Trope of Significant Anagram. |

These work better in real life than one might think. In the reality show Who Wants to Be a Superhero?, each contestant has a Code Name. In the middle of the first episode, it was revealed that one of the contestants was actually a spy. The contestant Rotiart stepped forward and proclaimed dramatically, "Rotiart spelled backwards is..." (rip off name tag for The Reveal) "Traitor!" | |

It gets complicated in Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics). Dr. Robotnik was originally an alias for Julian Kintobor. However, when the comic integrated elements of Sonic Adventure 2, they added in a separate Robotnik family. Eventually it was retconned from an alias to this trope, with the mad doctor taking his parent's names upon rising to power. | |

Might and Magic: In the series entry Darkside of Xeen, there is an order called the Drawkcab Monks. They study palindromes, and speak entirely in such. Also in M&M VI: The Mandate of Heaven, there's goblin-infested fort in New Sorpigal, which apparently belonged to these monks. It serves as a hint for solving the password lock inside. Also in Mandate, First Mate's Code: KCOPS Navigator's Code: ULUS Communication Officer's Code: ARUHU Engineer's Code: YTTOCS Doctor's Code: YOCCM Captain's Code: KRIK. Not one of these are any good without the proper papers, though... Also, Heroes of Might and Magic IV, of the strategy spinoff of the series, one of the campaign heroes for Winds of War is named 'Erutan Revol,' or 'Nature Lover.' |

While not strictly a name, per se, the "magic word" which triggers Miracleman's Transformation Sequence is "kimota". Alan Moore's Continuity Reboot of the comic in the early 1980s lampshaded this by having an adult, semi-amnesiac Michael Moran remember the word by seeing "atomic" written on a glass door from behind. | |

Some people saw it as significant that the given name of Marvel's Sub-Mariner, Namor, is "Roman" spelled backwards. His favoured battle-cry is the Canis Latinicus "Imperius Rex!" Rob Liefeld created the aquatic superhero Roy Roman to appear in his various Image Comics titles, and in case that's not obvious enough for you, people tended to just call him "Roman" in Leifeld-penned stories. | |

In chapter 8 of Reasoning, the four protagonists come across a giant anthropomorphic cat with a Cheshire Cat Grin. Grant is fully aware of the character said cat is imitating, so he calls himself "Erihsehc" just to annoy Grant. We find out in chapter 9 that this is his real name, and everyone addresses him by this moniker. | |

The Simpsons: In "Marge vs. the Monorail", Mr. Burns introduces himself at a town hall meeting in a Paper-Thin Disguise as "Mr. Snrub". "Brother from the Same Planet" has a sequence where Homer forgets to pick up Bart after soccer practice and leaves him there all night. At one point, Bart tries to psychically send him the message "Pick up Bart! Pick up Bart!" — cut to a brief The Shining parody with Milhouse writing "PICK UP BART" on the wall in mirrored writing and chanting "Trab pu kicp! Trab pu kcip!". In "New Kids on the Blecch", Bart, Milhouse, Ralph Wiggum, and Nelson are in a boy band that is secretly sponsored by a military force. The main song's hook had the lyrics "yvan eht nioj." Strangely enough, the backwards lyrics are pronounced phonetically as they're written ("Ee-van et nee-oj"), yet when Lisa plays the video backwards, they still come out clearly as "Join the navy", even though actually playing what the kids were singing backwards wouldn't sound anything like that. In the Moefinger segment of "Treehouse of Horror XXVII", Moe's Tavern and its regulars are a cover for an MI6 like organization. They're pitted against Remoh Industries, an unknown organization that has been buying up the entire world's beer supply. Need any hints who is the head of Remoh?

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003) uses several of these in a non-alias context, the most notable being Mortu the Utrom.

Days of Our Lives is well-known for its far-fetched plots, particularly those centered around the arch-villain Stefano DiMera. One plot had several characters leave the show's usual locale of Salem during the Fall of 1995 to attend a wedding in the town of Aremid. Events conspired to make many of the characters stay in Aremid until the following spring, but in that time nobody seemed to notice that Aremid was actually DiMera spelled backwards. The show repeated the trope nine years later when several characters found themselves abducted from Salem and kept captive on the island of Melaswen (New Salem), a place filled with recreations of several landmarks from their hometown. | |

Scrubs: "My Urologist" has JD finding a "Rotinaj" on the hospital website and thinking it's another trick of the Janitor. It is, but the hospital actually has a Dr. Rotinaj working there. He's presumably Indian. In "My Princess", a Formula-Breaking Episode in the form of a fairy-tale Dr. Cox is telling his son, Bob Kelso's counterpart is the Dark Lord Oslek (which, on a completely unrelated note, is what Ted calls him when he suffers stress-induced dyslexia). |

In Parker Lewis Can't Lose, principal Grace Musso has a devoted flunky called Lemmer; in a few episodes, her rival Norman Pankow has a flunky called Remmel. Remmel is visually an anti-Lemmer: while Frank Lemmer is a pale-skinned, dark-haired guy dressed all in black, Remmel is a black guy with blond hair who dresses all in white. | |

Slimecicle Cinematic Universe: On Day 10 of "We Spent 100 Days in a Hardcore Minecraft Apocalypse", after returning to the city for resources and befriending Florida Man, Charlie goes back to the house he built in the woods with Florida Man, only to find it struck and destroyed by an asteroid, which is a natural disaster with an astronomically low chance of happening. In his narration, Charlie calls himself "reverse Dream", or "Maerd", because of his absolute lack of luck. | |

Discworld: The Discworld concept of being "knurd" — so sober that you actually need an alcoholic beverage or two to be normal. As a parody of "Erewhon/Nehwon", there is an area in the Hublands called "Ecalpon". The country of Llamedos, which is "Sod'em all" backwards, and is itself a reference to the Welsh town of Llareggub in Under Milk Wood. In The Last Hero, Da Vinci expy Leonard of Quirm builds the Disc's second spaceship. The lever marked Troba is cited by Vetinari to be one not to pull, while the lever marked Sekarb stops the ship while it is crashing. Allegedly, the one weakness that all Discworld vampires share is their belief that spelling their name backwards is an effective way of fooling people. (Their depiction owes a lot to the classic vampire movies which more or less pioneered the Alucard thing.) A Throw It In! example from Thief of Time: Pterry had always intended Ronnie Soak to be the forgotten fifth Horseman of the Apocralypse, but didn't know what that fifth member should embody...until he realized that the character's last name spelled backwards was "Kaos", which is close enough to "Chaos" as makes little difference. |

During the All-Star season of America's Next Top Model, each of the girls had to write lyrics for, record and make a video for a song, and they were required to use the phrase "Pot Ledom is Top Model Backwards" someplace in the song. The "Pot Ledom" thing was reinforced in the videos when they would cut away from the model to show Tyra in a "Pot Ledom" shirt and repeating the full line. | |

Superfriends: In the Challenge of the Superfriends episode "Superfriends Rest In Peace", they mention a former member of the Legion of Doom called Dr. Natas, "Satan" spelled backwards. In the The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians episode "The Bizarro Super Powers Team", to finally put a stop on Mr. Mxyzptlk and get Bizarro to return to his home world with the Bizarro versions of Wonder Woman, Cyborg, and Firestorm, the real Wonder Woman uses the duplicator ray that created the Bizarro versions of the heroes on Mxyzptlk himself, creating a Bizarro version of him called Mr. Kltpzyxm. Naturally, given how Mr. Mxyzptlk is sent back to the Fifth Dimension whenever he either says, spells, or write his name backwards, him saying the name of his Bizarro version results in his defeat. |

The Order of the Stick: Elan's evil twin brother Nale. Apparently, these are their birth names; either the reversal is a coincidence or their parents have a unique sense of humor. Given that said parents were a Chaotic Good barmaid and a Lawful Evil warlord... (and guess who raised which boy). A Genre Savvy father could've intentionally named them both that way, without even knowing which one would be the evil twin. In contrast to pure fighter and Genius Bruiser Roy, there's the Thieves' Guild's pure fighter and Dumb Muscle Yor (the stereotype Roy does his best to avert). |

Metal Gear: The climax of Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake has the scientist Kio Marv supposedly store some secret information in an MSX cartridge. When the cartridge is retrieved and booted up, it displays the MSX BIOS screen, with a visual RAM of 01K - so it reads 'VRAM 01K'. Snake realises that the cartridge is genuine. In Metal Gear Ac!d, Snake's Jekyll & Hyde Enemy Without is called Hans, which is similar to "Snake" backwards especially in capitals and with the squarish font used in Metal Gear games, making the K look right (SNAK <-> HANS). Shame about that E, though. |

In Cave Story, the password to a Locked Door is revealed to be the Japanese name of the game (Doukutsu Monogatari) written backwards in katakana. This is not so obvious in the first English translation, which transliterated the password as "Litagano Motscoud" instead of translating it into something like "Yrot Sevac." The translator admitted he was very tired when translating that part. Later ports of the game change it to "Yrots Evac." | |

American Dad!: In "Dungeons and Wagons", Hayley breaks up with Jeff, but when she tries to get back with him he's too busy playing an MMORPG with Steve. In order to get Jeff away from the game, Hayley kills Steve's character with a special command: his character's name backwards. Later on in the same episode they attempt to revive Steve by taking him to the Castle Roodpart. Hayley comments on the name, and when Jeff starts talking about how it probably has some deep significance in the game's backstory, Hayley interrupts with "Crap, it's 'trapdoor' spelled backwards." Of course, they instantly fall into a monster's lair. In "Seasons Beatings", Jeff and Hayley adopt a son, whom Jeff names Nemo; however, when evidence piles up that he's actually The Antichrist, Jeff suddenly realizes that "Nemo" is "Omen" backwards! Roger lampshades the fact that this "clue" doesn't really make sense, given that Jeff picked the name himself. |

In possibly the most blatant example ever, the opposite of Chris-chan in Sonichu is called... Reldnahc Notsew Naitsirhc. This idea for names generally works better when it's simply one name spelt backwards rather than three in a row, but that's the level of unimaginativeness of this comic. | |

Series 3 and 4 of The Adventure Game feature appearances by a character called Ron Gad (played by Bill Homewood), who gives clues to the contestants each week... provided they realise that he's speaking backwards (implying that his name might actually be Dagnor), most often by offering an encouraging "Doogy rev!" ("Very good!"). He generally enters the set by singing a backwards version of "Waltzing Matilda" with a fake Australian accent to match. Some teams catch on more or less immediately and are able to obtain and decipher many clues from him, while other teams never quite solve the puzzle of his speech and get hopelessly stuck on the tasks with which he's trying to assist them.note Adventure Game producer Patrick Dowling was inspired to cast Homewood in the series after seeing him give a backwards performance of "Puff the Magic Dragon"... fitting, since his character's name, like those of the other Argonds in The Adventure Game, is an anagram of "dragon". | |

The Promised Neverland: In a You Are Number 6 variant, when you flip the Grace Field kids' ID numbers they go in ascending order by age. So child #81194 would be followed by #91194, then #02194, etc. The flipping is likely part of the way to keep the children from noticing this pattern. | |

Dungeons & Dragons In the Spelljammer setting; "scro" (singular and plural) are advanced orcs. D&D also has "nilbogs" and "llorts", both of which are damaged by healing magic, and vice versa. The D&D campaign that became the World of Greyhawk included Jim Ward, Robert Kuntz, and of course Gary Gygax. Legendary Greyhawk wizards and heroes include Drawmij, Ztunk, Zagyg, Zagig Yragerne (who may be the same person as Zagyg), Xagyg (who probably isn't), etc. D&D gods include The Trickster Olidammara, who has the ability to summon a nine-banded shell around himself (c.f. armadillo), and a god of chance called Norebo (Oberon, the king of the fairies in William Shakespeare's play A Midsummer Night's Dream). Snilloc, a wizard from Forgotten Realms. Module Q1 Queen of the Demonweb Pits. The names of 5 of the 6 Drow Lieutenants of Lolth were reversed versions of Drow names in module D3 Vault of the Drow, with some minor changes to make them pronounceable. Ardulace (Eclavdra), Anatlab (Beltana), Minolin (Nilonim), Lirdnolu (Vlondril) and Adinirahc (Charinida). Riklaunim (Minualkir?) is the only exception. 'Dragon magazine Issue #55, adventure "The Creature of Rhyl". Several names were backwards versions of Real Life names: Asereht (Theresa), Namreh (Herman) and Laechim (Michael). Issue #96 had an April Fools section which included the joke module Nogard ("Dragon" backwards). Lankhmar: The New Adventures of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser. One city is named Kokgnab, "Bangkok" backwards. Module I12 Egg of the Phoenix. After the Chaotic Evil illusionist Tuke is defeated by the PCs, he shows up later under the alias Captain Ekut. Modules Slayers of Lankhmar and Avengers in Lankhmar. Both modules were written by Dale "Slade" Henson, and one of the characters in the modules is named Elad Edals. Module C6 Official RPGA Tournament Handbook has a character named Gabtrid (Dirtbag). Module CM3 Sabre River has a character named Erbas, who is actually a manifestation of a magical sabre. Module EX2 The Land Beyond the Magic Mirror has a vorpal sword named Laprov. Module DL2 Dragons of Flame has a Dragon Highlord named Verminaard who may be killed during the adventure. Module DL12 Dragons of Faith has a character named Sevil Draanim Rev (Verminaard Lives). |

Mega Man X: Command Mission has Spider, whose name is that of Colonel Redips' spelled backwards. This isn't a coincidence; you find out much, much later on that they're the same person. Though there is some ambiguity if there really was a Spider at one point and Redips proceeded to Kill and Replace him before or even during the plot. | |

Kamen Rider: The Shout-Out Theme Naming of the main characters in Kamen Rider Fourze has Tomoko Nozama, who was named after Kamen Rider Amazon. Also, the Virgo Zodiart's real name is Kuniteru Emoto. Emoto = Otome, which is "virgin" in English. Kamen Rider Build: The series' Big Bad, Evolto, takes a Rider form named Kamen Rider Evol, which is the letters of "love" reversed. This fits his status as an antithesis to the heroic Riders' dream of fighting for love and peace, as Evolto fights for selfishness and sadism by causing conflict. Kamen Rider Revice: When possessed by Kagero, Daiji Igarashi becomes Kamen Rider Evil. After regaining control of his own body, he becomes Kamen Rider Live. |

In Gargoyles, the Evil Twin (so to speak) of Goliath is Thailog... not a precise reversal (unless you spell them with a Thorn: Goliaþ and Þailog). Of course, the writers admitted they did it this way because "Htailog" would have been very hard for the voice actors to say. | |

In Ghost Trick, a big part of the game's plot is kicked off by a meteor landing in Temsik Park... a meteor that grants people the ability to manipulate objects, or even go back in time and alter the past to save people from death. "Temsik" spelled backwards is "kismet", which means "fate" in Urdu. Even better and more meaningful, it represents "inverted fate". | |

Superman: The extradimensional imp Mr. Mxyzptlk can (usually) only be banished by somehow tricking him into saying or writing his name backwards. One Silver Age comic had Superman deliver some payback by traveling to the 5th Dimension and using his powers to pranking Mxyzptlk (who was in the middle of running for town mayor). Mxy desperately tries to get him to say "Namrepus" to send him back to our world, but even when he does nothing happens; when Supes has had his fun, he voluntarily returns home by saying "Le-Lak". There was also a Silver Age story where Lois Lane ended up in the 5th Dimension by thinking "Kltpzyxm" to herself. Htrae, the Bizarro World, is Earth written backwards. The Death of Lightning Lad: Wanting to play a prank on his friends from the Legion of Super-Heroes, Mon-El dons a mask and introduces himself as a team member applicant named "Lemon". |

Most of the races in Wakfu have some meaning when spelled backwards, some being doubling as a Punny Name. The Eniripsa ("Aspirine" the French spelling of Aspirin) heal others. The Xelor ("Rolex" the watch brand) can manipulate time. The Sadida ("Adidas") after the shoe brand which explains why their class has the word "Shoe" in its name. Ironically, most Sadida prefer going barefoot. The Enutrof ("Fortune") because they really like money. The Ecaflip ("Pile ou face", French for Heads or Tails) use a fighting style made of randomness. The Osamodas ("Sado-maso") are whip-wielding beastmasters. The Cra ("Arc" the French spelling of bow) are superb archers. The Sram ("Mars") after the candy brand. The Feca ("Acef" the French spelling of coffee) create translucent shields and are quite intelligent. The Eliatrope ("E portaile", French for portal child) founded the World of Twelve, with its inhabitants wondering why they suddenly disappeared. |

In The Elder Scrolls series, one of the Daedric Princes is named Namira, which is Ariman backwards. It is an alternative spelling for "Ahriman", a Zoroastrian term for the hypostasis of chaos, destruction, and evil. Given the term's obscurity and the fact that Namira doesn't really fit these traits (other than the standard chaotic nature possessed by most Daedric Princes), it's fair to wonder if this one wasn't intentional. Surfeit of Thieves is a short story about how a thief meets the Order of St. Eadnua — whose members' names are all spelled backwards. In addition, Eadnua spelled backwards is Audnae: the name of a vampire clan in Vvardenfell. In the end, the protagonist realizes that the name of the person she was impersonating is "dessert", and immediately dies when St. Eadnua's feast is over. |

After Werner has liberated not only his buddy Erwin but accidentally a few dozen people from the Bhagwan sect, everyone except Erwin believes he has enlightened them and sees him as their new master. So to get rid of them, they're first tested by having them open a bottle of beer with a raw egg, and after they all fail, Werner invents a "Master Renrew" who sits somewhere in Tibet and whom he claims to be able to teach the former Bhagwan people how to open a bottle with a raw egg. | |

Old example: Serutan, as its commercials would point out, was "natures" spelled backwards. Bored of the Rings appropriated the brand name for its parody counterpart of Saruman. The commercials themselves were spoofed by the chapter title "Serutan Spelled Backwards Is Mud". MAD also referenced it in "Gasoline Valley": |

Pokémon: The snake Pokémon Ekans (Snake) and its evolved form Arbok (Kobra). This eventually led to people making jokes about the Blob Monster Pokémon Muk. Lucario's name is "oracle", written in Japanese phonetics and then reversed. O ri ka ru > Ru ka ri o > Lucario. Electric/Ghost-type Rotom is "Motor" backwards. Makes sense, given that it's a spirit that possesses and powers electronic appliances. The French names for the extraterrestrial mons Elgyem and Beheeyem are "Lewsor" ("Roswel" backwards) and "Neitram" ("Martien", French for Martian, backwards). Dung beetle Pokémon Rellor is "Roller" spelled backwards. Its evolution instead reverses the syllables of "scarab" to produce its name, Rabsca. |

La-Mulana: A rather tricky one: La Mulana was developed by a programmer by the name of Naramura. Write the syllables in that name in reverse order, and you get Ramurana. And with the lack of distinction in Japanese between "r" and "l"... And in an even further pronunciation stretch for English speakers: syllable-reverse the name of developer Samieru, and you get ru-mie-sa, the origin of "Lemeza", the main character's name. The third developer, duplex, also got this treatment. The elder you consult at the beginning of the game is named Xelpud. |

Final Fantasy: The Weapon attack Aire Tam Storm from Final Fantasy VII. The key to not getting decimated by this attack is to limit how many materia each character brings with them into the battle. It does 1111 damage for every materia you have equipped, so if you have 9999 HP and a maximum of eight materia, you can at least survive it. Removing all your materia is not a good idea, though, since you'll need at least one to remove the time limit from fighting Emerald Weapon underwater. In Final Fantasy VI, a rather Guide Dang It! of a puzzle features this. Four tombstones with four "random letters" each — ERAU QSSI DLRO WEHT. Put them back in the right order and you get "THE WORLD IS SQUARE", and a secret path to a very nice item. Final Fantasy X: "The Hymn of the Fayth." It's Japanese lyrics written western style, left to right in rows, then read vertically eastern style (though still left to right.) The grid is four characters wide except for the last line. (Specifically, the lyrics are "Ieyui, Nobomeno / Renmiri, Yojuyogo / Hasatekanae / Kutamae". Deciphering the code gives "Inore yo, Ebon-ju / Yume mi yo, inorigo / Hatenaku / Sakaetamae", which in English means "Pray to Yu Yevon / Dream, Fayth / Forever and ever / Grant us prosperity".) Llednar Twem in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, the negative emotions of Prince Mewt Randell given form! Interestingly enough, his name in Japanese is not "Rudenra Tomyu", which would be the backwards version of his name in Japanese, but rather "Redona Twemu". |

Magic: The Gathering: Nevinyrral's Disk, a Shout-Out to Larry Niven (and specifically to his story "The Magic Goes Away"). The story involves a wizard proving that magic is a limited resource (a metaphor for fossil fuel) by creating a disk that has two spells on it — one causes it to spin faster and faster without limit, and the other binds the disk together against the increasingly extreme forces that would otherwise tear it apart. The result is a small 'do nothing' engine that, in a very short time, consumes all the magic in the vicinity and leaves a zone in which magic does not exist and spells do not work. The Magic card works similarly; activating it immediately destroys all the spells and summoned creatures in play. The Citanul Druids (and other such) — "Citanul" becomes "lunatic".... |

In The Fairly OddParents!, Poof's anti-fairy counterpart is Foop. He's the only anti-fairy with this kind of name, while all the others share their counterpart's names with "anti" in front of it (Anti-Cosmo, Anti-Wanda, etc.). Why he doesn't follow this naming convention? Presumably because "Anti-Poof" might be considered homophobic. Then again, the Anti-Fairies might think names like "Omsoc", "Adnaw", "Negroj", "Yknib" are too odd. | |

The Deltora Quest series: Nevets, the brother of Steven. Of course, initially, the protagonists believe Steven to just be crazy when he talks about having an invincible warrior brother inside him. The villains with the backward names Nij and Doj prevent the heroes from realizing they are the baddies they have been warned about, and who speak backward letter-for-letter, which obviously only works on paper. With a little clear-headed enchantment, the hero Lief is able to hear their words for what they are, and realizes that they're cheerfully discussing how to cook the group for dinner. |

StarCraft: Brood War featured an enigmatic character by the name of Samir Duran. In StarCraft II, a similarly mysterious character named Emil Narud (Duran backwards) appeared. Word of God confirmed there is a connection between them, but exactly what it is was unknown at the time, although many fans speculate them to be one and the same. The prologue of Legacy of the Void confirms they are the same person. | |

In Corridor 7: Alien Invasion, the various alien enemies are given codenames derived from real-life human names flipped around, like Nerraw (Warren), Eitak (Katie), Otrebor (Roberto), Semaj (James), Tenaj (Janet) and a few others. While the Semaj enemies are likely named after the QA Director, James Wheeler, what the other names stood for isn't really made clear. | |

Final Fantasy X: "The Hymn of the Fayth." It's Japanese lyrics written western style, left to right in rows, then read vertically eastern style (though still left to right.) The grid is four characters wide except for the last line. (Specifically, the lyrics are "Ieyui, Nobomeno / Renmiri, Yojuyogo / Hasatekanae / Kutamae". Deciphering the code gives "Inore yo, Ebon-ju / Yume mi yo, inorigo / Hatenaku / Sakaetamae", which in English means "Pray to Yu Yevon / Dream, Fayth / Forever and ever / Grant us prosperity".) | |

More tenuous: In "The Three Doctors", Omega's name was originally conceived by the production team as an upside-down flip of 'WHO' — 'OHM', which became Omega. |

During his tenure as writer on Dick Tracy, Max Allan Collins was fond of giving his villains last names that were words describing them, spelled backwards. Or forwards; so a story involving an arson ring included gang members named Crass and Craven, but the "torch" himself was Carl Nosra. So did Chester Gould himself, as witness The Blank, whose last name was Redrum. | |

Rellik is Killer spelled backwards. Rellik is killer spelled backwards! He also went by Redrum in indy promotions. Mike Tenay always mentioned that "Rellik is Killer spelled backwards" whenever he appeared. Hugger created the gimmick during his indy days between his WWE release and signing with TNA. The gimmick was originally called "REDRUM". | |

In Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Enmu the demon who specializes in blood demon arts that induces people into never-ending dreams meant to kill them has his name properly written in Kanji, meaning sleep-groaning dream, but the way it is pronounced is exactly an anagram of Nemu, radical form of sleep. | |

Ace Attorney: In the Japanese version of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Justice For All case 3, the tiger and monkey are named Ratou and Ruusaa, reversed versions of the Japanese words for "tiger" and "monkey" respectively (with the vowels lengthened as well). The English localization breaks the pattern and just names them "Regent" and "Money" instead. In Case 3 of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations, you hear of someone going around impersonating Phoenix, and Maya immediately takes to calling this person "Xin Eohp". His actual name is Furio Tigre. The "Tear of Emanon" in the third game. In Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, there's a noodle chef named Guy Eldoon. His noodle stand has a sign reading "NOODLE" on one side, and "ELDOON" on the other. This is a plot point! A witness's lying about where they were standing is revealed when they say the sign read noodle, when from where he claimed to be standing it read Eldoon. |

And then someone tried it for real on the show. This time it does nothing but get a laugh out of the studio. Peter accidentally created an Evil Twin, who declared his name to be "Retep". Another episode featured time going backwards called "Yug Ylimaf". |

In the final chapter/episode of Dragon Ball Z, Goku enters the World Martial Arts Tournament because he learned that Kid Buu's reincarnation will be there; he turns out to be a small Indiannote or whatever the DBZ world equivalent is boy named Uub. The fact that even an Idiot Hero like Goku recognized the name could be seen as Lampshade Hanging.note To be fair, Goku was the one who wished for and anticipated Buu's reincarnation and Goku entered the tournament just because of the reincarnation to show up, Goku didn't need to think that long to figure that out. | |

Sgt. Frog already features Mine Yoshizaki's Author Avatar (known as Yoshizaki-sensei), but there's also a background character called Yoshi Minezaki - she's an Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette who could be easily mistaken for a Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation One episode mentions a toxic substance called Selgninaem. One of the show's writers acknowledged this to be a comment on the meaningless nature of Technobabble. The Omnipotent Being of the Week in "Where Silence Has Lease" is named "Nagilum", or "Nagillum", depending on what you read. That second name is important when you consider that the producers originally wanted Richard Mulligan for that role... In "Samaritan Snare", the captain of the Pakled ship is named "Grebnedlog" in the script. It's "Goldenberg" spelled sdrawkcab, but what significance this has, no one knows. In "Darmok", the eponymous Tamaranian figure's name is "Komrad" (read: "Comrade"), which is entirely fitting given the theme of the episode. In "Gambit: Part I", the crew goes to a sleazy bar to find an informant; the guy they eventually come up with is named Yranac. |
