I think Pharynx and Chyme are really fine names.

Quite like Ileum too.

This is all hypothetical ofcourse!

I actually secretly quite fancy Lumen for a girl Blush

GinIsIn · 08/10/2017 09:13

Anvil for a boy?

TheBadgersMadeMeDoIt · 12/10/2017 19:59

Lumen could actually work, in its context as unit of light intensity. Quite nice, as a name.

Likewise Candela.

But I digress. Sorry.

PregnantBridesmaid · 12/10/2017 20:04

Melaena.

Actually came across a 'melaena cafe' once..didn't order anything!

Mrsknackered · 12/10/2017 20:27

Oh, I like lumen.

Submandibular (Mandi for short) but that is a bit far stretched.

Since you said body part/body function, and the brain is part of the body, I'll say Emotion for a girl, and Nap (also short for Napoleon) for a boy Grin.

There's a footballer called Drinkwater, that's a body function surely.

YouSaySidewalkISayPavement · 13/10/2017 01:23

Regina Phalange all the way.

Also Buster Blood Vessel is already there.

Di ( Gestive System)

And not forgetting the three budding comedians:

Humerus

Aqueous Humour &
Vitreous Humour.

(Channeling Radio 4 here as you can probably tell)

YouSaySidewalkISayPavement · 13/10/2017 01:24

Sperm is quite a go -getting active sort of name for a boy.

Modestine · 13/10/2017 01:27
