=== Names === Some names are palindromes, such as the [[given name]]s Hannah, Ava, Aviva, Anna, Eve, Bob, and Otto, or the [[surname]]s Harrah, Renner, Salas, and Nenonen. [[Lon Nol]] (1913–1985) was Prime Minister of Cambodia. [[Nisio Isin]] is a Japanese novelist and [[manga]] writer, whose pseudonym (西尾 維新, ''Nishio Ishin'') is a palindrome when romanized using the [[Kunrei-shiki]] or the [[Nihon-shiki]] systems, and is often written as NisiOisiN to emphasize this. Some people have changed their name in order to make it palindromic (including as the actor [[Robert Trebor]] and rock-vocalist [[Ola Salo]]), while others were given a palindromic name at birth (such as the philologist [[Revilo P. Oliver]], the flamenco dancer [[Sara Baras]], the runner [[Anuța Cătună]], the creator of the [[Eden Project]] [[Tim Smit]], and the Mexican racing driver [[Noel León]]). There are also palindromic names in fictional media. "Stanley Yelnats" is the name of the main character in ''[[Holes (novel)|Holes]]'', a 1998 novel and [[Holes (film)|2003 film]]. Five of the fictional ''[[Pokémon]]'' [[List of Pokémon|species]] have palindromic names in English ([[Eevee]], Girafarig, Farigiraf, Ho-Oh, and Alomomola), as does the region Alola. The 1970s pop band [[ABBA]] is a palindrome using the starting letter of the first name of each of the four band members.
