I think Pharynx and Chyme are really fine names.

Quite like Ileum too.

This is all hypothetical ofcourse!

Tibia and Fibula sound nice and classy - kind of like Portia. Cornea is pretty, too.

If it's a boy, Thorax sounds heroic as fuck!

Enzyme, Enzy for short.

I've also met a couple of woman called Melena. I think it's a relatively well known name from another culture, always makes me smile though
I have actually met a Carina

TheBadgersMadeMeDoIt · 05/10/2017 12:58

I'm sure I have heard of girls named Melina. If you spell it Melaena it's a type of bloody diarrhoea.

Actually, now I think about it, "Diarrhoea" as a group of syllables actually sounds quite pleasing for a girls name. Kind of distinguished. Like a cross between Diana and Dorothea.

I think Ossicle is a poetic name for a boy. He will attend St Custard's and be friends with Fotherington-Thomas.

His uncle Langerhans runs a cattle ranch in Patagonia.

SyrilSneer · 05/10/2017 12:46

Carina

RhonaRugMuncherr · 05/10/2017 12:45

Dp and I have a running joke (which is only funny to us) about our hypothetical twins called Cold-Knee and Hot-Knee.

MySecretToTell · 05/10/2017 12:40

I know someone called Colon. He doesn't particularly like it and goes by his middle name most of the time

Tibia was my first thought: I see others got there first!

Incisor for a boy perhaps?
