Hi guys, Saw this on Twitter. Thought I'd pass it along. Very 1st post.
James Alefantis has to be an assumed name. This anagram defies the odds.
Yes: the exact anagram of James Alefantis = J'aime les enfants = I Love Children.
Okayyy.

Thanks.
Less spectacular. But still!
Say you're a hockey player. What are the odds I can use your name to make an (almost exact) anagram that says "I love hockey"?
In other words: how hard is it to take a random person's name and make an anagram that states a known fact about that person?
Is James Alefantis = J'aime les enfants (minus 1 A) statistically remarkable? Does it defy the odds or not?
Can this be calculated?

Your calculation would have to include all languages that use the same or similar alphabet. I think a good test would be to see what other phrases could be made with those letters using different languages.
Good point, thanks.
I would venture that 3 or 4 languages could be considered sufficient for this calculation / test.
DC elites dig French. It's way up there with Spanish.
