aphasia?
Aphasia relates to speech/spoken language -or were you suggesting it as a name?
no, was suggsting it as the "a" word for brain injury that is associated with language difficulties. My Mom has aphasia. Now I see that there's also alexia. so, no not a name, just chiming into the conversation about brain/language stuff. carry on.
gotcha (also not a name suggestion). there's a whole load of them all do do with confusion between similar things -numbers letters, shapes... .....apraxia (movements) -very useful in Scrabble, not used as a name so far, sadly. Suggestion for the nest dwellarette maybe? :lol:
Jenny and Penny (seeing as everyone else is cheating wildly too ;) )
...and Ben ;)
Mary's not in my Scrabble dictionary. or even my shorter Oxford except as a proper noun.
Sorry forgot the definition for Perry :non-alcoholic fizzy fruit drink
Ken

[liquidmeasurenerd] Isn't it Gill? Not Jill? Or are both spellings OK? [/liquidmeasurenerd]
Sent by thought transference
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.
i take back Hope, as it were -too easy. girls are named afterthings more often I think.... (like flowers and virtues)
True. I wanted Felicity but it seems a cop-out.
Jimmy? To open something.
Are we allowed slang?
In which case: Herbert.
As in 'spotty little herbert'
[liquidmeasurenerd] Isn't it Gill? Not Jill? Or are both spellings OK? [/liquidmeasurenerd]
you got it. convenient way to dump a J sometimes
Only known gill here. As a measurement I mean.
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.;)
from presidential politics...
Mitt (glove)
Albert (watch chain)
Jimmy (crowbar)
Lee (something to so with the sheltered side -I could look it up, but I remember the rats moving Mrs. frisby's house into the lee of the wind..... or something)
Albert not accepted in Scrabble, don't know about other games
it is in the shorter oxford, though, so should be.....
Chuck
Sue (did we have that already?)
MORRIS!
Words with Friends takes ZAIRE but not JEW. It's totally random, just like this post.
zaire is/was a monetary unit of Zaire. very useful, eh, Limey? ;)
Miles was a good one, btw. also Marshall, but Tyler was spelled incorrectly and others were repeats.
(btw, not a first name, but Jones is acceptable)
Dolly :a human-like toy or a wheelie thing for moving heavy things. warren was an underground burrow/rabbit-hole
Can we be trendy?
Trinity--also a Christian concept.
Sage---an herb.
Destiny--what your life is leading up to or meant to lead up to, anyway
Apple- a fruit.
Violet--a color
Sylvan---forest-like
Raven-bird
am I repeating things?
we know a Sage! his brother is called Grey :/
We know a Blade too. But i really like the ones where the meaning of the non-proper-noun is unrelated to the use as a name and I bet that isn't the case in his case.
Jean. always plural in the UK, but not here.....
foot why are you doing this?
Roger: Sorry Grav, not sure how I missed that, wasn't deliberate, thought I had put it in.

hmmmm. Guy, Rocky and maybe Colt i can live with as First names, but the rest really don't have enough precedent imho. ditto moon and unit.
I guess those aren't proper names. I'm sorry.
There's a whole load of them in the "What do you call a guy or girl with no arms and legs who..." joke genre.

Sadly no. I'm a little exhilarated because the light at the end of the tunnel is getting closer and it doesn't appear to be at the front of a locomotive.

Sandy OFFS it's rude enough to post a list that you didn't even take the time to create yourself, but most of it isn't even relevant at this point. seems your other half is not the onky one with skills to work on. If you don't want to play, just dont. It's easy.

Frenchie goes on to work for the governor, and her husband turns into an alien.
