Proper nouns, if we count them, add words like Bangor(city in Maine), Goran (surname of Charles Goran), Borg (fictitious group from the Star Trek universe), and Neo (fictitious character from The Matrix).
Commonly mistaken English words might also count, such as "brang" (correct conjugation of to bring is the word 'brought').
Finally, you could count fictitious English words, if you were asking without any restrictions. An example of such might be "grabe," inspired by Lewis Carroll's "outgrabe" in the poem Jabberwocky.
