    Better suggestions for B:

    • Breath: Half the people would say “breathe” instead.
    • Boatswain: most people would have no idea how that’s pronounced
    • Bury: a word with lots of different regional pronunciations

        Too bad all the (common) silent b words are words with b in the middle, not at the beginning. Bdellium would work, but that’s something I think 99.9% of the planet has never heard of. If that were allowed, I bet you could find extremely rare names for every other letter.
