Proper Noun - Glossary of Terms Proper Noun A proper noun is the name of a person, place or thing (i.e., its own name).  Proper nouns are always written using capital letters.  Examples: David, Blackpool Tower, Westham United, Antarctica, Ceylon, Watership Down, Dayton Peace Accord, Wigan Pier, Monday, April, Jupiter   Interactive example:   Take me to Paris in spring, Jason, and I'll forget Dr Roy's proposal. [show me the proper nouns]   Remember, a proper noun is written with a capital letter, because it is a name or a title. Do not give a word a capital letter just because it is an important word in your sentence. As a valued Client, you have been selected for a special Gift.
