There are a number of common words in the English language which start with a double letter, such as ooze and eerie, but these start with vowels.

Can you think of a common word in the English language which starts with a double consonant?

(In reply to Common word by brianjn)

The word "zzyzxensis"  is not an uncommon word.

Just the other day I overheard a woman in the drug store saying to the pharmacist, "My zzyzxensis are acting up today. What do you recommend ?"
