Common Names That Are Also Words

A list of names (male, female, and unisex) that also happen to be English-language words (and/or well-known words to English speakers).

Most of these names have appeared in the first half of the (US) Social Security Top 1000 Popular Baby Names database at least once in the past 100 years; some have peaked a bit further down that list, but have still appeared at least 10 times (or at least 5 times if the name debuted on the list in the past decade). Check each name off if you've met somebody who bears it!
