When I came on this list late in 1992, I received some flack for choosing
"Holtej" as my name. I countered with the observation that TKD lists
names for people that are also other words, like /Qugh/ and /matlh/.
Then, there's the incontravertible /Qel/, which pretty much settles
things. Also, it's not at all uncommon to choose names of professions as
personal names, such as "Porter", "Smith", and "Miller". I think we've
done a decent job of disambiguating when we're referring to an individual,
ane when we're referring to a profession, on this list.
