I think Pharynx and Chyme are really fine names.

Quite like Ileum too.

This is all hypothetical ofcourse!

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.

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.

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!
