For words beginning with "Y" Yale: Mythical animal elephant/boar. After some quick Googling, it's apparently originally documented by "Pliny the Elder", so it's got a beer-related connotation too. Downside, might get confused with the university of the same name. Yare: adj for quick/agile/lively Yucca: noun for a plant that an elephant *could* eat Yair: Scottish term for a fish trap. Also a Hebrew name for "He will enlighten"
