[liquidmeasurenerd] Isn't it Gill? Not Jill? Or are both spellings OK? [/liquidmeasurenerd]

Only known gill here. As a measurement I mean.
I've seen jill used as a term for girl though.

I've decided not to play fast and loose with the children I know who have nouns as names.
Ocean, Breeze, Storm, Harbour, Fox etc
Trying to think more of names with other meanings. In English.

True. I wanted Felicity but it seems a cop-out.

Jimmy? To open something.

by "here" do you mean personally? because it's in the Oxford (among other dictionaries) and i've been plsying it in Scrabble since I could pull tiles from a bag.

But it is also a device used to protect female hockey players from cunt-pucks. (not given as a definition in the dictionary, though)

Jimmy's a good one.

This is names that are also words, not random words that some moron decided to call their offspring.
