Other forms: ananyms
Have you ever spelled your name backward? If so, you've created an ananym. From pen names to clever parodies, ananyms are great for disguising identities or attaching hidden meanings.
Writers sometimes use ananyms as pseudonyms in order to stay anonymous or maintain privacy. Others use them as clever or satirical names for characters or places in their stories. For instance, a writer might name a small village in a fantasy novel Erehwon — Nowhere spelled backward. It's like a subtle joke or "wink" to the audience.
