I am getting a hedgehog and am trying to come up with medically related names.

So far all I have are:
Scrubs
Stiches
Bovie

Any other ideas?

 

[MrLogan13]

Why not Sonic? It's related, kinda (shh gene). lol

 

[QofQuimica]

Is it a boy or a girl? I always thought Melena was a beautiful name for a not very beautiful medical condition. You haven't smelled stank until you've smelled old, partially digested GI bleed from the back end....

Ebola if it's a girl, tophus if it's a guy.

Chlamydia, Dicer, Gunner.

I thought about Sonic, but nobody would get the medical relevance.

I am going to get a boy hedgie, but I agree on the smell!!

 

[Prncssbuttercup]

Chole?? rhymes with Foley??

 

[Law2Doc]

What about something likes "Needles" or "Sharps" since s/he will be full of spines.

Actually, "Spines" isn't bad either!

And... pics please!

Meh, too tame. Call it chancroid or furuncle or carbuncle or psoriasis.

My fiance gave me a Betta fish to be my desk companion while I studied for the MCAT. I named him Dr. Franklin Hippocrates, as in Rosalind Franklin. :-D

 

[IslandStyle808]

Chikungunya, since I like exotic names.

I called my beta fish Inigo Montoya. I got Inigo when I started residency, and he died right before I graduated. There's probably some deep meaning in there somewhere....

"My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!"

Guy I know in med school named is cats Theo, I think short for theophylline, and Pia.

If you are going to abbreviate a Medical term to a normal "nick" name, really what's the point? How's that better than Theo being short for Theodore? Not much of a conversation starter there. Call the pet "Dr. Chancroid Tophus, III". "CT" for short (also medical). Much cooler and conversation provoking than Theo.

 

[Mr. Vandemar]

I second Tophus for a boy, and Melena for a girl.

 

[brainnurse]

How about Chiari for a girl?

 

[Traumweber]

How about Chiari for a girl?

That is a person's name isn't it?

Pophyria and Chyme (make the 'ch' throaty) sound biblical....

Chaim is a Hebrew name.

 

[Postictal Raiden]

Pyruvate or Kinase if it's a boy. Tibia or Fibula if it's a girl.

Tome: instrument with which to cut?

I'd say Nissen; but it' already someone's name: eponym.

So, Fundy for fundoplication? Can you go wrong with Tachy? LOL Uvula is nice. Groovy uvie. Acantho - means spiny or thorny--seems appropriate for a hedgehog. Bill Rubin is always good. Billy Rubin--it's good for male or female.

My daughter wants a hedgehog. Her friend wants a sloth. What's with all these strange pets? LOL. I mean what's wrong with a good ole cat or dog? 🙂

OMG, one more for now. . .GERDy. LOL
