That's a pretty hefty set of useful names you are putting off-limits!
For instance:
"Move", "Index", "Count", "Insert", "Delete" (Ada.Strings.Fixed)
"Split" (Ada.Calendar)
"Read", "Write" (Ada.Storage_IO, Ada.Streams)
"Create", "Reset", "Name" (Ada.Text_IO)
"Initialize", "Adjust" (Ada.Finalization)
"Size" (Ada.Direct_IO)
Looking over this list, its interesting how much more sense each makes
at first glance when given the context of its package name...
