    Definitions of Palindrome on the Web:

    a word or phrase that reads the same backward as forward
    -https://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=palindrome

    A palindrome is a word, phrase, number or other sequence of units that can be read the same way in either direction (the adjustment of punctuation and spaces between words is generally permitted). Composing literature in palindromes is an example of constrained writing.

    -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palindrome

    As seen above, a palindrom is a word, name, phrase, or number that can be said "forward" and said backwards saying the same thing.

    EX: Hannah is spelled the same way backward Hannah - hannaH

    I've noticed that there's 4 Pokemon names that are like this.

    Ho-Oh - hO-oH
    Eevee - eeveE
    (1st most un-noticeable) Girafarig - girafariG
    (2nd most un-noticeable) Alomomola - alomomolA (on the other side Alom reversed is molaomola ~ "(Mola Mola, for you latin-name nerds. :B )" -Kon~

    Do you see anymore? and what do you think of names like these?

    Bulbapedia says there are only four.

    I hate the name Alomomola just because it's so awkward to say.
     
    On the contrary, I love the name Alomomola. Because I was a fan of the Ocean Sunfish before it was a Pokémon ;D
    (Mola Mola, for you latin-name nerds. :B )
     
    I've always been more amused by Pokemon names that make actual words like Ekans (Snake) and Arbok (Kobra).

    Oh I see!
    That's clever!
    I like Almomola now :)

    Is Girafarig's Japanese name the only one that's a palindrome?
