I am not sure this is precisely what you are looking for but you may be
interested in a recent paper by Alexander Dolinin about Nabokov's
nominal anagrams. The article, in Russian, can be found in the Proceedings
of the Tallinn-Tartu 1999 conference on Nabokov -- KUL'TURA RUSSKOI
DIASPORY: VLADIMIR NABOKOV - 100, ed. Belobrovtseva, Danilevskii, Utgoff,
Mironov (Tallinn: TPU Kirjastus, 2000), 99-107. GD
