> "Some more suggestions are: mythical places (e.g., Midgard, Styx, Paradise), mythical people (e.g., Procne, Tereus, Zeus), killers (e.g., Cain, Burr, Boleyn), babies (e.g., colt, puppy, tadpole, elver), collectives (e.g., passel, plague, bevy, covey), elements (e.g., helium, argon, zinc)"
Mildly recursively, when I play at trying to name all the elements[1] in fifteen minutes, I think of the sets of things elements are named after. Geographic places (Europium, Londinium, Americium, Californium), laboratories (Berkelium, Lawrencium), people (Einsteinium, Nobelium, Curium, Seaborgium), astronomical things (Helium, Selenium, Plutonium, Uranium, Mercurium), things known in the ancient world (Silver/Argentum, Lead/Plumbum)... although it's never enough for me to get all of them.
