Anomie: 1. Social instability caused by erosion of standards and values. 2. Alienation and purposelessness experienced by a person or a class as a result of a lack of standards, values, or ideals: "We must now brace ourselves for disquisitions on peer pressure, adolescent anomie and rage" (Charles Krauthammer). [French, from Greek anomi , lawlessness, from anomos, lawless : a-, without; see a-1 + nomos, law; see nem- in Indo-European roots.]
A state or condition of individuals or society characterized by an absence or breakdown of social and legal norms and values, as in the case of an uprooted people.
The Professor named her Anomie after her behavior. And because he knew her real name: Annemarie.
I picked it because it sounded pretty and not like something one would expect from Anomie.
