What's in a name?

Sean Martin 11:03am

I just stumbled across a site called Anagram Genius, which turns famous names into amusing anagrams. Here are a few of the political ones I found:

The New Prime Minister Gordon Brown = Men now noted - wrong British Premier!

David Cameron = Dave? Minor cad

David Miliband = I'm livid and bad

The Deputy Prime Minister John Leslie Prescott = Hits, injures. (Hot-tempered, completely inept, sir)

Barack Hussein Obama = Bush, I can break Osama.

Tony Blair = Tory in Lab

Yes, ok, I have cheated a little with the names, but do CoffeeHousers have any alternatives?

Rhyming, on the other hand, is more fun:

Gordon Brown - Broing Clown

and so on.

Wight Tory

A story doing the rounds among North East journalists a few years ago was that whenever one regional lobby correspondent typed the name of Hilary Armstrong, his computer amended it to Hairy Ringmaster
