One Arsenal fan has gone to extreme lengths to prove his love for Arsenal, The Telegraph reports.

Clare Smith of Blacktown, New South Wales, wrote into a popular daily magazine in Australia to reveal the red and white inspiration behind her beloved daughter's exotic name – Lanesra.

The unwitting mother seems to have taken a full two years to have noticed that her baby daughter's name is in fact 'Arsenal' spelt backwards.

Fortunately for Clare, people seemed to think that Lanesra was actually quite a pretty name; cue the inevitable boom in 'Lanesras'.

With Arsenal favourites to remain top of the table and win their first Premier League title in ten years, do not be surprised if the culmination of the season sparks a wave of 'Lanesras' being christened across London.
