What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

I'm trying to think of books where a character uses a fake name which is an anagram of their real name.

An example is the book Last Act by Christopher Pike, where the character Susan Trels also uses the name Stan Russel.

It also happens in The Season of Lilian Dawes by Katharine Mosby.

I am thinking there is a kids' book, where the character uses Leon for Noel, or vice versa, but that is as much as I can remember right now.

The Witch's Daughter does this. The guy chasing the Witch's Daughter uses anagrams through out the centuries to find and capture her.

There is also Holes by Louis Sachar. Stanley Yelnats. Holes

Thanks for your comments. I feel like there is a really obvious, famous example which I am missing, but it's the kind of thing which is impossible to Google! Any suggestions welcome.

LauraW you may be thinking of The Mysterious Disappearance of Leon I mean Noel.

Yes, I think that was the book I was thinking about. I don't remember enough of it to know if it would fit in the category the OP was interested in though.

The Tattooed Potato and Other Clues also includes anagram names. It's also by Ellen Raskin, the author of The Mysterious Disappearance of Leon I Mean Noel.
I know of another one, but to identify it would be a major spoiler since it's a secret until nearly the end.

Teresa, if you're keeping with your theme, I think what book you mean! :)

Teresa, could you send me the book details as a private message please? I'm not bothered by spoilers!

Done! :)

Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu

Tom Marvolo Riddle / I am Lord Voldemort

Thank you all, I think the Lord Voldemort example is the one I was trying to remember! I knew there was one in a very well-known book.

The Keep by F. Paul Wilson has this. The bad guy, an evil immortal sort of vampire dude (in the book legends about him gave rise to some vampire stories in the region where he was imprisoned) uses an anagram of his real name when he introduces himself to the protagonists.

In I, Lucifer, the protagonist's name is an anagram of the author's name. May or may not count in terms of what you're looking for...

The Wench Is Dead.

Blue Labyrinth

Count Olaf uses the pen name Al Funcoot in The Bad Beginning.
