I think Pharynx and Chyme are really fine names.

Quite like Ileum too.

This is all hypothetical ofcourse!

I had a Scottish friend at school called Eilidh and whenever we had a supply teacher and they got to her name on the register ... "Eyelid?"

Most are much nicer with Irish spellings:

Boilg (stomach)

Ceann (head)

Scornach (throat)

Glúin (knee)

Lámh (arm)

Duáin (kidney)

Srón (nose)

I can see any of those catching on!

Maxilla, Max for nn.
