{{examples}}

== Gnisitrevda ==

* Old example: Serutan, as its commercials would point out, was "natures" spelled backwards. ''[[Bored of the Rings]]'' appropriated the brand name for its parody counterpart of Saruman. The commercials themselves were spoofed by the chapter title "Serutan Spelled Backwards Is Mud".

* Evian (a brand of bottled water) spelled backwards yields "naive", which is too tempting to use as a [[Take That]] in places where you can get clean drinking water off the tap.

 

* In the KC Grand Prix ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' arc, Yugi's grandpa disguises himself as a duelist named Apnarg to enter a tournament. If [[4Kids! Entertainment|4Kids]] were a bit more clever, they could've gone with Nomolos.

* This is what clues Goku in to Uub being the reincarnation of the evil Buu in the final episodes of ''[[Dragonball Z]]''. Considering Uub had no idea he was Buu's reincarnation, this makes it an awfully convenient name.

* The [[Grand Finale]] of the original [[Lupin III]] manga series featured the [[Musical Assassin]] Ataginez. {{spoiler|Turns out it's Inspector Zenigata in disguise.}}

* The Fuji television block [[NoitaminA]]

 

== Skoob Cimoc ==

* A [[Carl Barks]] story featured female creatures called "larkies". When disguised as males, the called themselves "eikrals". Each larkie's eikral counterpart has a name that's the larkie's name spelled backwards. For example, the larkie named Agnes became an eikral named Senga.

* While not strictly a name, per se, the "magic word" which triggers [[Miracleman]]'s [[Transformation Sequence]] is "kimota". [[Alan Moore]]'s [[Continuity Reboot]] of the comic in the early 1980s [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] this by having an adult, semi-amnesiac Michael Moran remember the word by seeing "atomic" written on a glass door from behind.

 

== Skrow Naf ==

* In the universe of ''[[Marissa Picard]]'', there's a star system named "Naklab". It's home to the planets Nevolsia, Troac, Sobnia, and Bresia.

* In ''[[It's My Life|ITS MY LIFE!]]'' there is Assirram Strebor, {{spoiler|Marrissa Roberts' [[Evil Knockoff]]}}.

 

== Noitamina -- Smlif ==

* The sorcerer in the "Sorcerer's Apprentice" segment of ''Fantasia'' is called Yen Sid, which is Disney spelled backwards. Similarly, the Disney live-action film ''Lt. Robin Crusoe, U.S.N'' has a story credited to [[Walt Disney|Retlaw Yensid]].

* King Llort from ''[[A Troll in Central Park]]''. Not as obvious outside of the context of this page as one might think.

 

== Noitca-Evil -- Smilf ==

* This is how Wizards dealing with the Darke hide themselves in ''[[Septimus Heap]]'': By spelling their name backwards. [[Played With]] in Septimus's case, as he takes only the last letters S-u-m on Marcellus Pye's advice.

* In [[Brian Aldiss]]'s illustrated poem "Pile", (subtitle "Petals from St. Klaed's Computer") the hero escapes from Pile and it's computer "St. Klaed" to find the alternate world of Elip run by St. Dealk.

 

== VT Noicta-Evil ==

* ''[[The Muppet Show]]'' features a sketch in which Lew Zealand and Rowlf sings "Owt Rof Aet" ("Tea for Two" backwards).

* The [[Shout-Out Theme Naming]] of the main characters in ''[[Kamen Rider Fourze]]'', has Tomoko Nozoma, who was named after ''[[Kamen Rider Amazon]]''.

 

== Cisum ==

* Sort of done with [[Daft Punk]]'s "Funk Ad", which is a backwards reprise of "Da Funk" - if it were fully backwards, it would of course be "''Knuf'' Ad".

* The name of the [[Folk Metal]] band, [[SuidAkrA]], is the guitarist/vocalist's first name "Arkadius" spelled backwards.

 

== Aidem Wen ==

* The official web site for the film ''[[Memento]]'' is [http://otnemem.com http://otnemem.com/].

 

 

* Former [[TNA]] wrestler John Hugger, also known before that as Johnny "The Bull" Stamboli in [[WCW]]/[[WWE]], worked under the gimmick of the monster RelliK (with a backwards K). Rellik is Killer spelled backwards. [[Memetic Mutation|Rellik is killer spelled backwards!]] He also went by Redrum in indy promotions. Mike Tenay '''always''' mentioned that "[[Rule of Three|Rellik is Killer spelled backwards]]" whenever he appeared. Hugger created the gimmick during his indy days between his [[WWE]] release and signing with TNA. The gimmick was originally called "REDRUM".

* In [[WCW]], [[The Ultimate Warrior]] decided to make a stable to combat the [[New World Order]] (nWo). He called it the One Warrior Nation (oWn). It only had one member besides Warrior, Ed Leslie aka The Disciple. The horridness of everything Warrior did in WCW in general and Warrior's general flakiness as a performer spelled a quick end to it.

 

== Oidar Teppup ==

* The setting of ''Under Milk Wood'', Llareggub; at the time also a case of [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]].

* In the radio version of ''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (radio series)|The Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy]]'', the Lintilla clones are approached by Allitnil clones with offers of marriage {{spoiler|which are actually agreements to cease existence}}. The name "Allitnil" was pronounced as if "Lintilla" were played backwards on tape.

 

== Semag Potelbat ==

* The dark messiah "Susej", from ''Satanis Unbound''.

* ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]''

** Dragon magazine #96 had an April Fools section which included the joke module ''Nogard'' ("Dragon" backwards).

** Module I12 ''Egg of the Phoenix''. After the [[Chaotic Evil]] illusionist Tuke is defeated by the [[PC]]s, he shows up later going under the alias Captain Ekut.

 

== Syot ==

* Tobor. While this notamotua been off the line forever, it's immortalized for sponsoring the ''[[Star Wars Holiday Special]]''.

 

== Semag Oediv ==

* ''Fortix'' has the [[Evil Sorcerer]] Xitrof as its [[Big Bad]].

* ''[[The Spellcasting Series]]'' has the [[Atlantis|Lost City of Sitnalta]] in the third entry.

 

== Scimoc Bew ==

** In contrast to pure fighter and [[Genius Bruiser]] Roy, there's the Thieves' Guild's pure fighter and [[Dumb Muscle]] Yor (the stereotype Roy does his best to avert).

* In ''[[Corner Alley 13]]'', Tsac Tuo is revealed to be {{spoiler|the shapeshifter Drel in disguise}}, and points out that his name is 'just outcast spelled backwards'. The heroine's response? "I ''thought'' it sounded foreign."

* "Retsinif" is "Finister" spelled backwords. No dout another one of Finister2's Internet names.

* Fender, the mascot for ''[[Fur Affinity]]'', has a [[Distaff Counterpart]] named Rednef, originally from an [[April Fools' Day]] joke.

 

== Noitamina Nretsew ==

* ''[[Star Trek: The Animated Series]]''

** Walter ("Pavel Chekov") Koenig wrote a episode featuring a poisonous plant called a retlaw.

* ''[[Pinky and The Brain]]'' had one episode where Pinky started saying "Troz", which, as Pinky explained, is "Zort" backwards.

* ''Ruff and Reddy'' was a [[Hanna-Barbera]] show in the late Fifties. The very first story arc involved "the dreaded planet Muni-Mula," which the narrator went out of his way to inform viewers is "aluminum spelled backwards." Muni-Mula actually looked more like the [[Star Wars|Death Star]] (almost twenty years early) than a planet.
