"There is no generally accepted term. The simplest word for such words is something like semi-palindrome or half-palindrome. However, some other suggestions have been made, including the elegant heteropalindrome, the ugly reversgram (or better, reversible anagram), and the outrageous semordnilap!"

Palindromes?

Call it a type of anagram, because that's what it is (as evidenced by Webster's New Twentieth Century Dictionary (second edition) which gives this second example of an anagram: now -> won).

I don't know the answer, there might not be a specific word specifically for that but I like Owlwings answer. Oh, that reminds me, I need to pop to pythonline.

it isn't palindrome, that would be the same backwards as forwards. your best bet would be "anagram", though that would, of course, also apply to "polo" in the first case and "opt" in the second case.
