["Emordnilap" is a modernly-coined term for a word that forms another word when reversed ;)
Also, since I pulled my name data straight from the SSA, there are very likely some obscure and/or international names that belong on these lists as well]

I also did a search for names that were words reversed, but most were almost certainly coincidental (I doubt people are using Liam because it's 'mail' backward for instance). The only one I could definitely say was on purpose was Nevaeh, which was surprising, since I have seen others such as Legna or Traeh in previous years.
There were quite a few that made me giggle, however, like the fact that Dennis backward is 'sinned', and that the Nevaeh-spinoff Devaeh is 'heaved', so if you want to peruse the list I came up with, I did put it up on Google Sheets. :)
