how about the x-men character psylocke? Then there's pterodactyl, psalm, pseudonym, Ptolemaic, and, of course, the variations on psyche

Thanks Abraxas! I was hoping to add to this list as I came across stuff, but you've saved me some time.

...and ptosis

Oooh. One more: pterygium.

chained_bear commented on the list silent-p
Well, I looked up the pronunciation of ptosis, and apparently the p is supposed to be pronounced! So while it's a cool word, it doesn't belong on this list. More's the pity. :(
Same with pterygium.
Of course I found this out AFTER I added a citation... Ergh...

Odd. In the eyeball world, the p is pronounced in neither word (pterygium or ptosis). Where are you seeing that they're pronounced?

chained_bear commented on the list silent-p
Good question. The OED. But they're British so they say lots of things wrong. :) Here, I'll put them back.

Reminds me of that old sign:
WELCOME TO OUR SWIMMING OOL. IT HAS NO 'P' IN IT AND WE'D LIKE TO KEEP IT THAT WAY.

Great list! There's also phthisis and psionic.

sarra commented on the list silent-p
ph combinations ought not to count, as if the p really were silent then the word would begin with an h sound—which none of them do. The ph can be dropped as a whole though, I've just found out.
I'd pronounce the initial p in the German words.

psychedelic?

gangerh commented on the list silent-p
If a P falls over in the forest and there is no one there to hear it does it make a sound?

Doesn't Chained_Bear owe you some sort of usage pfee for all of these silent P's?
