iris (goddess)
marathon (Greek city)
quisling (traitor, Norway I think)
raglan (another knitting term)
uzi (not really sure about this one, I think the name was not quite the same)
xerox
yale (key)
zeppelin

I'm not sure if yale actually qualifies, you may call it a yale key but do you call it just a yale?
Also, does anyone know about uzi?
