Do they have to be written with gs? I'm thinking of a word like jug which certainly has the hard and soft sounds.

Hmm... for me, jug lacks the coolness factor that the G-G words have. In the word gigantic, for example, I see a tale of breathless melodrama:
I was a small vowel in the big city. They were a pair of brawny identical twins, with nice mouthfeel and some cute descenders... but I never should have gotten between them, because one of them harbored a dangerous secret. He told me he was an affricate, and, like a fool, I believed him...

I hope there's a cameo by gelignite in The Plosive Surprise.

Thanks! I like this list too. But I don't like its name -- any suggestions for a new name?

yarb commented on the list garbage-day
How about "-ing" words like sledging or dodging? Or, better, gyving?

I like its name, although I suppose you could try for something in the G-G family. *starts humming "The Night They Invented Champagne"*

Yarb -- sledging and dodging are interesting cases, but I think they belong on their own list. I'm looking for both /g/ and /dʒ/. /ŋ/ is interesting, but it doesn't fit the pattern.

Renamed the list. It is "Garbage Day" no more.

I also renamed my list of words with both hard and soft C's.
