Words that could be names if you ignore their existing meaning
Saw someone do this on another app, and thought it’d be a funny lil game/brain exercise:
Polenta Kidney Sandal Clarinet Pie Camera Basin Fax Alimony Chlorine
please add yours!!*
*footnotes: these are in the realm of European-adjacent/English-speaking/North American colonial names, so I’d also love to see people do this with other languages/cultures! *I find femme names are easier so bonus for neutral/masc names!

applesapples22 missed these, thank u! Serif is actually quite nice. Maybe because it’s pretty similar to some Arabic names like Sharif (which, I believe is the precursor to the English sheriff !)
