I think Pharynx and Chyme are really fine names.

Quite like Ileum too.

This is all hypothetical ofcourse!

Eyelash - little Eyelash nn Lashy likes ballet and riding. She’s going to ask for a pony for Christmas but may have to settle for a goldfish.

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.

Perhaps that's what all those little boys called Max already have on their birth certificates.
