Cambridge Mathematical Questions (Vol. ix., p. 35.).—Iota is informed that the questions set at the examination for honours, are annually published in the Cambridge University Calendar. He should consult the back volumes of that work, which he will probably find in any large provincial library.
These questions, with solutions at length, are also annually published by the Moderators and Examiners in one quarto volume. All the Senate House examination papers are annually published by the editor of the Cambridge Chronicle, in a supplement to one of the January numbers of that periodical.

P.S.—As I write from memory, I may have been guilty of some slight inaccuracy in details.
I think the Cambridge University Calendar will contain all the mathematical questions proposed in the Senate House for the period mentioned. Those from 1801 to 1820 inclusively were also published by Black and Armstrong (Lond. 1836), to accompany the revised edition of Wright's solutions. The problems from 1820 to 1829 inclusive are reprinted in vol. v. of Leybourne's Mathematical Repository, new series, and in vol. vi. those for 1830 and 1831 are given. In 1849 the Rev. A. H. Frost arranged and published the questions proposed in 1838 to 1849. Perhaps this may be found satisfactory.

Reversible Masculine Names (Vol. viii., pp. 244. 655.).—If you allow Bob, you cannot object to Lol, the short for Laurence. Lord Glenelg and the Hebrew abba will not perhaps be held cases in point, but Nun, Asa, and Gog, and probably many other Scripture names, may be instanced; and Odo and Otto from profane history, as well as the Peruvian Capac.
