Jerry Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Kate, Is a proper name a word? In the city of Downey in Los Angeles County, there is a street named: ARRINGTON. Every time I pass it I wonder how it got that name. Did someone forget to copy the W when they name it? Oh, I'll go to the 'net now and see if it knows.

Jerry Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 There seems to be a prominent businessman here named Michael Arrington, but it addition there's a website for the Arrington Coat of Arms, and says the name is from a village in Cambridgeshire. The Arrington family is creating a family tree to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 I infer that proper names are not counted, because you've gone past Anton, for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kateoflymm Posted May 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 I don't think we can have proper names, Jerry, or we might end up with a list of hundreds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
