That’s a weird term but I feel like if any group can grasp exactly what I mean, it’s berries – I’m sort of taken with word names at the moment, but even moreso I’m into names that sound like words or are closely derived from words. The one that’s on my mind most now is [name_f]Clary[/name_f], and I want to count [name_f]Laidy[/name_f] (from Adelaide) in this category as well, being that it’s a homonym of an [name_f]English[/name_f] word. Somehow those feel different from, say, [name_u]Poet[/name_u] or [name_u]Ever[/name_u], just [name_f]English[/name_f] words that are also names.
I’m wondering if anyone here can think of others that sort of fit this bill, just looking for inspiration and thought i’d give it a whirl. Thanks!
Traditional names that are also words come to mind (especially floral names): [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], [name_f]Blythe[/name_f], [name_u]June[/name_u], [name_f]Mae[/name_f], [name_u]Laurel[/name_u]
