Proper Noun

Proper Noun

A proper noun is the name of a person, place or thing (i.e., its own name). A proper noun always starts with a capital letter.

Examples:

Michael 
Africa
Peking
Dayton Peace Accord
United Nations
The Tower of London
Uncle George
("Uncle" is written with a capital letter because it is part of his name.)
My favourite auntie is Auntie Sally. 
(In this example, the first "auntie" is a common noun; whereas, the
second "Auntie" is part of a proper noun.)
The Red Lion
