@HarshaLaxman occasionally people spell these names with the dash. 🙄

@nelsonic
That is great, I love unique names, but they don't belong in this list unless I am misunderstanding [[:alpha:]]

@HarshaLaxman the question of whether "proper" name should
be in the dictionary,
is not one I'm qualified to answer.

There are 41,733 strings in words.txt
where a hyphen is embedded among letters (i.e. has only letters and hyphens, and begins and ends with letters). Of those, 38,570 have no capital letters -- that doesn't mean they aren't proper nouns, but most proper English nouns are capitalized, so it suggests that there are tens of thousands of legitimately hyphenated strings. Some examples:
- anti-emetic
- bilge-water
- coarse-grained
- dead-center
- electro-osmotically
- yellow-tipped
Perhaps "dead-center" shouldn't be counted as a word, because both "dead" and "center" are words and are already listed. What about "anti-emetic" and "electro-osmotically"?
