I think Pharynx and Chyme are really fine names.

Quite like Ileum too.

This is all hypothetical ofcourse!

When I was younger I told everyone that if I had twins they would be called Bilirubin and Biliverdin.

Twin boys phallus and anus

Pinna for a girl

Gnathion for a boy.

I just asked DH, and he said "Tony". He's very pleased with himself now 🤣

Kidney could be the new Sidney

Brain for a boy (after all, it's not too different from Brian). Or Oesophagus, Gus for short.

Henle

knottybeams · 05/10/2017 12:12

There are quite a lot of body parts with eponymous, even if not used that much now. (circle of) Willis, (islets of) Langerhans, (loop of) Hele?

Ooh, Ulna is nice.

Pylorus could be a good boy's name.

If I had twins I would have to go Tibia and Fibia-couldn't resist. Ulna is nice too. Pharynx for a boy.

histinyhandsarefrozen · 05/10/2017 11:57

Vulva would be tricky. She'd always have to correct people, "it's not actually vagina, it's v.u.l.v.a, vulva."

UnaOfStormhold · 05/10/2017 11:56

Aorta
Tibia
Amygdala
Cochlea
Medulla

Mostly girls I think, struggling with boys' names!

Not a fan of Larynx as it might be NN to Larry. Grin

Trachea is quite groovey. Loving flatulence and Tibia.

Wasn’t there a thread recently where the poster heard a mum shouting her son, Elbow?

PurpleTraitor · 05/10/2017 11:49

Cochlea?

Or how about Cerumen? Grin

Lobsterquadrille2 · 05/10/2017 11:48

Tibia. Tibby for a nickname.
