Palindromic name (4)
I believe the answer is:
otto
'palindromic name' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for otto that I've seen before include "Possibly a German" , "- Preminger, Austrian-born US film producer" , "Rose produces this" , "Male German name - a palindrome" , "Italian for eight" .)
