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

Bidet is puzzling enough. Then there's modern portmanteaus like bussy (really, any word that has a more well-known P-word, like blot, will work) and NATO PA soundalikes like bike. And words with stress on other syllables that make the B less distinct, especially evil ones are before and benign for sounding like B4 and B9.

Ooh, I like before and benign because at first there doesn't seem to be anything tricky going on there.

"B as in bdellium." Or, "B as in subtle".

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

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.

"B as in subtle"

A silent B? Dumb.
