Can imp be called a proper noun?

No, "imp" is not a proper noun.

Proper nouns refer to specific people, places, or things. They are always capitalized. Examples include:

* People: John, Mary, President Biden

* Places: New York City, Mount Everest, Mars

* Things: Empire State Building, Mona Lisa, iPhone

"Imp" is a common noun, a general name for a small, mischievous demon or sprite.

It's like saying "cat" or "tree." While there can be specific imps with names (like "Impy" or "Little Imp"), the word "imp" itself refers to a general category, not a specific entity.
