Alexia : something about not being able to see word formations properly (often a brain injury side effect rather than something you're born with ....hang on.....damn, can't get my Psych books out, to far under other stuff. It's something like that, i know. Ans we know one Alexia and two Alexas ...I often woder if they were all supposed to be Alexas?

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 ;)

Will and Bill.

Woody

Perry

Mary

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

and barbie? (aussie for BBQ, right? not in the Scrabble Dictionary, though :(

Sheila

Sherry

[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.

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'

you got it. convenient way to dump a J sometimes

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.


Charlie
Shelly
Patsy

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.....
