Dunno, showing a complete ignorance of languages, etymology etc , it looks a bit middle eastern to me so I am going to guess Jesus?

Which man took his pen name from the French pronunciation of his real initials when reversed?

i'm sure i know this, but can't dragi t up. i know voltaire was an anagram of his real name arouet l(e) j(eune).
but that is not what you asked

Quite right UP - it wasn't what I asked. And a bit of a tenuous anagram, as well, I'd say!

No idea, but I'll guess Moliere.

grecian · Post by **grecian** » Wed Jul 18, 2007 3:42 pm

Nope, not Moliere. Think more recently.

Hmmm. I actually did French literature at school, but I did Camus, Moliere and de Maupassant, and I don't think it was any of that shower.

Dumas?

No, think a bit less literary.
