What's the name of the first dad.

I think it's more helpful to think palindromes starting with 'e'

It said "a"

I typed "a"

It still said "a"

I didn't know what to do, so I left.

That's not the only answer it accepts.

I'm stuck on "india". Edit: Got it. On to the next one.

Well? I'm stuck on india a few hours now, any clues?

india could be various things as well as the obvious. Try the wikipedia disambiguation page.
