    So has anyone noticed all of the anagrams there are in Kingdom Hearts? I mean, we have Xehanort that comes out as No Heart and Another, and than there's Xemnas, which is Ansem, and all the rest of Organization XIII, but did anyone notice that Ansem is actually just another anagram from "Names"? How many names in Kingdom Hearts are actually anagrams? And there's also Isa. It's an anagram of Sai, which in Japan translates to Rhino, which is kinda funny, because Saix sure as heck charges in every time he's in berserk mode like a rhino

    This is pretty interesting, though I have a slight feeling some of these were done intentionally, like Xehanort = No Heart.

    There are others too, like Yen Sid = Disney and Eraqus = Square though I'm sure most people knew about these.

    I honestly didn't think of that...

    I only know the obvious ones, but i suppose if you think about it, there could be more out there.

    Well this doesn't really count, but obviously Terra, Aqua, and Ventus are latin for earth, water, and air respectively. The same with Riku, Kairi, and Sora, only in Japanese.

    Wow, nice going with the Saix one..i'd never really thought of that to be honest.

    Just for the heck of it i googled Roas on the offchance it could be related to Sora.
    roas stands for 'Return on Advertising Spending'. This is the amount of revenue generated for every dollar spent on advertising. For instance, a ROAS of $1 means you're generating $1 in sales for every $1 in advertising spend.

    Looks like one of the smaller money makers designed by nomura DID have some relation to greed >.>

    Xehanort = No Earth.
    Terra = Earth.

    Everything else is pretty much widely know, such as Xion = No i or Tide/Forget-me-not, but nice on Saix, didn't know it either.

    I was thinking of others, but I couldn't think of any. Of course there's the obvious ones, but I just couldn't think of others. There's of course Riku, Sora, Kairi, and Ventus, Terra, Aqua. But those aren't anagrams. They just stand for things, like Ventus = wind, and Sora = Sky. But those aren't anagrams. And I thought something was funny with the name Isa, and I noticed it was an anagram of Sai, so I looked it up and found out what Sai meant. And we already know all of Organization XIII being anagrams, but I wonder if their real names mean anything. Someone could try and find them, but I don't really want to do that, since I fail at word things like anagrams.

    I didn't know a lot of these.

    This one particularly, I find it interesting how Xehanort has so many anagrams. Plus this name is obviously symbolic of
    how Terra is part of Xehanort but is sort of dead

    I couldn't find any for Ienzo, I haven't looked too hard though, all I came back with is that in Romanji it's spelt "Ientso" but that could just be how to pronounce it.

    Axel is based off of Reno.
    Axel -> Ale

    Reno supposedly drinks ale, though I've never seen him do it, just something I've heard.

    So many subliminal messages. I never knew some of these myself, with the exception of No Heart. Also, Vanitas = Vanity, which means clear.

    we already know that Sora means Sky. That's kind of a no-brainer

    Meaning and anagrams are two different things, even if a word's meaning is related to the anagram.

    Xehanort (without the X) has a lot, as people have mentioned: Another, A throne, No Earth. Ansem = Names.

    Also, the Isa = rhino thing is probably more of a coincidence than anything. "Saix sure charges like a rhino" just seems like grasping at straws. I find that like saying "Namine is like Tsunami. Tsunami means harbor waves. Waves...from Kairi. Harbor..ing feelings for Sora!"

    Some already established ones are Yen Sid (Disney) and Eraqus (Square).

    Well "Nami" in Japanese means "wave". (most likely an ocean wave- aka tsunami) And Kairi means ocean, so there is a connection there.

    Sora, I believe, is Japanese for sky.
