Nothing new here, that theory's at least 19 years old, in the version proposed by John Hudson. Yawn Nishidani (talk) 10:52, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

NOTHING NEW!? Shakespeare's name is an anagram of "A-She-Speaker". If you fold the portrait of Shakespeare in a certain way, it looks like a portrait of Emilia. Good God, man, what more evidence do you need??? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 11:15, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

Yeah, and it also means 'Ashe-speaker', and William Shakespeare anagrams as 'Awake Imps, Raise Hell.' Of course, these games miss the fact that he signed himself Shagspere/Shakspear etc. I like Shagspere best, because that means 'father of shaggers', though of course Emilia Lanier must have been lesbian, since we have a report that Will screwed Burbage out of his one-night stand by 'coming' earlier than the latter for the appointed tryst.Nishidani (talk) 11:44, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

Based on my vast socio-cultural-psychological knowledge, I think it's likely that Shakespeare's fellow school-boys concluded his name meant "wanker", or whatever equivalent word there was around in that time (as in someone who metaphorically shakes his spear). This likelihood is however modified by how good he was at punching his fellow school-boys in the mouth.
