Colleague at work has a German name but he's never told us what it is.

The other day, he decided to tell us but in 'encrypted' form. Can anyone here work it out? (and give a plausible reason/decryption)

The encrypted word is....JETTW

Anyone? Thanks

Well the implication is that it's five letters with a letter repeated in the third and fourth positions (unless it's not one letter for one letter encryption).

I can only think of Benno, Hanno or Willi

It's HANNO.

HANNO
JETTW

H is 2 letters behind J in the alphabet
A is 4 letters behind E
N is 6 letters behind T
O is 8 letters behind W

Cool or what? Although the reality of it is that he should have made the sequence go 2,4,6,8,10 (rather than 2,4,6,6,8) which would make it JETVY and much harder to guess because there would be no repeated letters.
