I think Pharynx and Chyme are really fine names.

Quite like Ileum too.

This is all hypothetical ofcourse!

I have actually just heard of a baby girl called Ren - which is the Latin for kidney I think?

AdaColeman · 05/10/2017 21:04

Skin would be cool and hip for a boy.

Tartyflette · 05/10/2017 21:08

Renal. I think it's more unisex myself.

Ren is often short for Irene (pronounced in the French way -- Ee-ren)
I have a French friend Irene who is Ren.

Nostril -- he's an upper-class, serious little boy.
He has a more frivolous sister, Follicle.

Mrsknackered · 05/10/2017 21:13

Yes @tartyflette I know those delightful children.
Their parents are Nucleus and Amylase Ventricle.

Unihorn · 05/10/2017 21:18

I quite like Spleen.

MadeinBelfast · 05/10/2017 21:21

I think Amy-lase works well hyphenated. Also Re-Tina or Mam-Mary ☺️

Leatherboundanddown · 05/10/2017 21:23

Brow or Lobe

AdaColeman · 05/10/2017 21:23

Maxilla, Max for nn.

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

Tartyflette · 05/10/2017 21:25

MrsK
Of course - and don't forget the babies, Radius and Scapula, boy-girl twins Grin

Boys

Achilles
Cortex
Tragus

SquirrelWatcher · 05/10/2017 21:27

I have a cousin named Carina! Mind you until about 3 years ago I thought her name Cortina as Ford Blush

NotEnoughCushions · 05/10/2017 21:32

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!

Haemorrhoids, known as piles for short
