I think Pharynx and Chyme are really fine names.

Quite like Ileum too.

This is all hypothetical ofcourse!

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

Trachea is quite groovey. Loving flatulence and Tibia.

Aorta
Tibia
Amygdala
Cochlea
Medulla

Mostly girls I think, struggling with boys' names!

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

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

Mrsknackered · 05/10/2017 12:05

Ooh, Ulna is nice.

Pylorus could be a good boy's name.

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?

knottybeams · 05/10/2017 12:12

Henle

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

Backingvocals · 05/10/2017 12:14

Kidney could be the new Sidney

ImNotShpanishImEgyptshun · 05/10/2017 12:15

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

BeyondThePage · 05/10/2017 12:19

Pinna for a girl

Gnathion for a boy.

MaidenMotherCrone · 05/10/2017 12:20

Twin boys phallus and anus

Coconutspongexo · 05/10/2017 12:21

Love a good purkinje

joopy79 · 05/10/2017 12:22

Epiglottis, Lottie or glottie for short

clairethewitch70 · 05/10/2017 12:23

Lumbar
Cornea

clairethewitch70 · 05/10/2017 12:24

Achilles
Plantar

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

washingmachinefastwash · 05/10/2017 12:26

Epiglottis

BakerCandlestickmaker · 05/10/2017 12:28

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

Incisor for a boy perhaps?

clairethewitch70 · 05/10/2017 12:29

Molar
Septum
Cervix
Cavity
Vertebra

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 05/10/2017 12:32

Cisterna-Chyli

shakeyourcaboose · 05/10/2017 12:38

Thalmus as brother of Medulla

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

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.
