Line 460:
* One name that has become somewhat popular in recent years is Nevaeh, "heaven" written backwards. It seems to be a rule that if a new parent is telling you that s/he named a child Nevaeh, the conversation will almost inevitably go, in a breathless rush, "We named her Nevaeh -- that's Heaven spelled backwards." It begins to grate after a while.
* Other backwards-spelled names that have come into somewhat occasional use (though not to the extent of Nevaeh, which is in the U.S. top 100 as of 2005) include: Semaj, Senga, Traeh, and Neleh. The last one was the name of a contestant on ''[[Survivor]]'' in 2002.
* [[wikipedia:Suicide of Rehtaeh Parsons|Rehtaeh Anne Parsons]], teen Canadian abuse and bullying victim, now deceased. Her name is "Heather" spelled backwards.
* The transport company "Elddis" is a reverse of its original name, "Siddle".
* [[The Oprah Winfrey Show|Oprah's]] production company is called Harpo, Inc.
