Nomar

There is a ballplayer named Nomar Garciapara, I always thought it to be an unusual name. I was told by someone that his first name, Nomar, was his father's name in reverse. His father is named Ramon and he wanted to share his name with his son. However, he didn't want there to be confusion in the household. Consequently, he did a spin on the name by making it Ramon in reverse. I thought this was perhaps the most supremely inane logic I had ever heard...then I thought....if I did this, if I had a son and he was Max in reverse his name would be Xam...which is pronounced ZAM, then I realized that I thought it was a great idea.
