We have lots of choices, a grep of /usr/share/dict/words turns
up 64 words that are 8 characters long using the letters [a-filo].  You
use 1 for i and l and 0 for o:

accolade	bilabial	coccidia	dicalcic	fillable
acidific	billable	cocobolo	diiodide	flicflac
aecidial	billfold	collocal	dodecade	focaloid
alcaldia	bloodied	colocola	dollface	foilable
alliable	bocaccio	daffodil	elidible	foldable
bailable	boilable	deadfall	faceable	follicle
balladic	caboodle	dealable	fallible	labiella
bdelloid	caddiced	defiable	fecaloid	laceleaf
beballed	calcific	defilade	feedable	leadable
bedabble	calicoed	deicidal	feelable	libidibi
befiddle	callable	deifical	felicide	locofoco
biddable	ciliella	diabolic	fellable	official
bifacial	cobelief	diacoele	filicide

We should be able to find one word that would not offend any one.
