No, the word paper is a common noun, a general word for any material manufactured in thin sheets from the pulp of wood or other fibrous substances; a word for any paper of any kind.

A proper noun is the name of a specific person, place, thing, or a title; for example:

  • "The Paper Princess", a novel by Marion Chesney
  • Paper Chase Trail, Avon, CT or Paper Birch Drive, Lorton, VA
  • International Paper, corporate offices Memphis, TN
  • Paper Hat (boutique), Minneapolis, MN
  • "The Paper", 1994 movie with Michael Keaton, Glenn Close, Robert Duvall, Maisa Tomei
