The UI/UX expert David Charney has created "Alphabet Moon," a website where you can type in any word and it will spell it out via a series of photos of lunar features that are shaped like each letter.
Above is my name: "Clive"
Alphabet Moon will also tell you the details behind each lunar feature.
The letter "C" in my name, for example:
Visible from Earth, a giant "C" is formed by Sinus Iridum, or the Bay of Rainbows. This dark, 147-mile-wide bay is a plain of ancient lava. The distinctive "C" shape is formed by the Jura Mountains, a massive mountain range that curves around the bay's edge, leaving one side open to the vast Mare Imbrium. This mountain range is actually what's left of the original crater rim that was flooded by lava long ago.
