WordPlay: Personal Names
If you cite information from this LexiConnexxions report, please give credit and a link to this page. These reports and analyses are compiled and prepared by a human being, not a machine. Thank you.
The LexiConnexxions analysis has identified many uncapitalized words in the Spelling Bee lexicon that may also be used as capitalized PERSONAL NAMES.
This list does not include epithets (babe, baby, biddy), family terms (aunt, mama), or titles (admiral, mahatma). It includes some flower names, but may not include all the flower words that could be names.
NOTE: A word must have appeared in the Spelling Bee to qualify for this list. There are probably more.
Bee words marked with an asterisk have been used in at least one Spelling Bee puzzle, then subsequently disallowed; they are retained here for historical interest.
