I had an app called Anagrams on my Mac Plus — running on MacOS 6 or 7, over 40 years ago! — which was awesome. It would take a few words or names and output a non-repeating list of anagrams, carefully organized by word length (longest to shortest, then alphabetically) using up all of the letters. Only anagrams that used all the letters were displayed — no orphan letters.
I put in my GF’s full name in and came up with hundreds, from which I selected an entire page full of hilarious combos. Here are just 3 good’uns that I can recall offhand:
President’s gamely aroma
Alas, do sperm gyrate in me?
Playmates garrisoned me
This iPhone version is pure garbage. I put in the same 3 names as above and got an endless stream of random junk, probably with the same groups repeated many times, and every single one included the word “alines”. (Is that even a word?) That’s likely why it doesn’t work. It doesn’t recognize that simple fact that it has previously found a combo or used a word, and just randomly churns out words it finds. What a waste of precious silicon.
