Double Letter Combinations

Today I was thinking about common consecutive letters in crossword words. I divided the letters into two categories: common and uncommon.

Common consecutive letters:
bb, dd, ee, ff, gg, ll, mm, nn, oo, pp, rr, ss, tt, vv (?), zz.

Uncommon consecutive letters:
aa, cc, hh, ii, jj, kk, qq, uu, ww, xx, yy.

Here are a few good crossword examples I thought of that use some of those uncommon consecutive letters:
aardvark, AARP, AAMCO, MAACO, hajj, Exxon, Hawaii, R(N)ikki.

What are some other ones? Don't use a dictionary -- that's cheating.
