First, I thought I'd point out that Draco Malfoy = "Racy Mad Fool", as
well. However, I was bored, so I came with a few middle names, and
started anagramming. Keep in mind, though, that it's hard not to make
fun of Malfoy when doing anagrams. 

The first name I tried on for size was "Draco Lucius Malfoy". Ginny
ended up with "Molly" as her middle name, so why not have Draco end up
with "Lucius"?

Well, I suppose "Drooly Facial Mucus" is one reason. I was able to
come up with "Lord of Cauci Asylum", but still, not much to this one.

"Flay Sam; Crucio Ludo" sounds rather like instructions Voldemort
might give, though.

Next, since JKR keeps giving out middle names like "John" and "Jane",
I thought I'd try "Draco John Malfoy".

I ended up with "Lord of Onycha Jam", "Lord Machan of Joy", and "Ah,
Lord Fancy Mojo!" for this one. I'll admit to being fond of the latter
one.

It did occur to be that Narcissa may have named him after her brother,
"Draco Regulus Malfoy". The results I got here ended up rather odd...

"A Graceful Mousy Lord". Sounds more like Pettigrew, really. "Curse
Foul Lord Gamay" & "Lord Amylaceous Frug", also came about with this
one.

As far as predicting the future, we have: "Marauder Cogs Foully",
"Amorally Scour Fudge", "Fudge Clamours! 'Royal'", and the odd
"Safeguard Curly Loom".

There were a few descriptive ones in there as well. "Afar; Decorously
Glum", "Farced Lousy Glamour", and "Dreamful Gay Colours" come to
mind. Sounds far more like Fan!Draco, though.

I then went with him being named "Draco Phineas Malfoy", again going
with naming him after relatives. This gave me "Poncy Mafia Lord Shea".
Oh well...

Anagrams of this one that struck me as interesting included
"Nymphadora Ices Olaf" & "HOI! A Pomfrey Scandal". I also ended up
with Draco's "Asocial Hyper-fandom", the "Enchilada Army Spoof",
"Manacled Hairy Poofs", & "Horny Academia Flops". No comment on these.

Another possibility that came to mind was that Draco may have been
named "Draco Salazar Malfoy", after Slytherin. The only anagram I
ended up with from that was "Mad Royals Of Alcazar". That is one of
the better ones I got, though.

Then there is "Draco Ignatius Malfoy". Unlikely, since Percy has the
same middle name, and also because of the unfortunate initials. Still,
you never know...

The only lords, that came up really were the worst of the batch,
though. "Lord of a Mystic Iguana", "Gay Mafia Suction Lord", & "A Lord
of Antigay Music". 

I did get the single most likely prediction yet, though:
"Origami-fond Casuality". Gave me chills. :(

"Unfamiliar Cats; Goody!" & "Laudatory Masonic Fig" came up, as did
"Magics Info; Laudatory", & "Magician Fluor's Toady". And I was a bit
suprised to see "Anagrams Flout Idiocy" in there...

Anyways, that's pretty much what I've come up with. Best of luck to
anyone else doing anagrams right now.

Oh, and I found <http://www.wordsmith.org/anagram/advanced.html> to
be rather helpful. I usually set it to a max of 2/3 words to make it
easier to find good anagrams...
