The Morse code ..... Here come the dots
A decimal point ..... I'm a dot in place
Eleven plus two ..... Twelve plus one
Alec Guinness ........ Genuine Class
Animosity .............. Is no amity
Those are great anagrams! One of my favorites is Mother in law = Hitler woman!

There's a great deal of nominative determinism with some names:
Clint Eastwood = Old west action
Eddie Murphy = I'm rude/hyped
Steve Martin = I'm star event
Gloria Estefan = Large fat noise
Sylvester Stallone = Over-talentless 'Sly'
Madonna Louise Ciccone = Occasional nude income

Those are great, Mr. Stillwater!
I love anagrams.
In fact, my grandmother's name was Anna Graham and we always played with anagrams.

These are great. Mine are weak, but I'm posting them so that I don't lose this thread in the shuffle:

I found a listing of some more anagrams, the one that leapt off the page was:
PRESIDENT BORIS YELTSIN = endless insobriety trip
It gets me every time!
Another was:
PAMELA ANDERSON = darn a-ample ones!
though I came up with another on the train in this morning; ...AND ample on arse!

I should add that anagrams, or at least magic anagrams, were invented in medieval Iceland.
The 14th Century saga of Bósi and Herrau ends with the exhortation to interpret the names of six men (seggir sex): Seg flú mér nöfn fleira öll óbundin, `Tell me all their names unbound'.
Læknirs and other academicians have spent centuries trying to unbind the meaning of those runes.

mama, it would be a sort of mirror thing:

But still not an anagram, Mr S. I do like yours - haven't seen it before.
