Argus Pyrites adds:
This is *horribly* off topic, but this reminded me of Trespassers
W. from Winnie-the-Pooh. Sorry, delete this if you must Oh List
Elves... but I just couldn't resist, as I'm *still* giggling. (And
isn't Milne /always/ considered relevant?)

The Piglet lived in a very grand house in the middle of a beech-
tree, and the beech-tree was in the middle of the forest, and the
Piglet lived in the middle of the house. Next to his house was a
piece of broken board which had: "TRESPASSERS W" on it. When
Christopher Robin asked the Piglet what it meant, he said it was
his grandfather's name, and had been in the family for a long time.
Christopher Robin said you couldn't be called Trespassers W, and
Piglet said yes, you could, because his grandfather was, and it was
short for Trespassers Will, which was short for Trespassers William.
And his grandfather had had two names in case he lost one—
Trespassers after an uncle, and William after Trespassers.

"I've got two names," said Christopher Robin carelessly.

"Well, there you are, that proves it," said Piglet.

I'm not too sure that putting in clues via anagram is ever a good
idea.. but seeing as I like this sort of thing
