If the word exists, that's one thing, but
if a clone brick competitor produced very similar (though not identical)
toys and called them LEGO, would there be a trademark issue?

Yes, Lego would have a case because it would create confusion in the
public's mind.  Less clear cut would be a recording company and a computer
manufacturer having the same name (Apple).

  Or, for example, a boy wizard and a boy wizard?  8^)
