Naw, those are Fievel’s brothers and sisters.
It should be “labium”, unless it is twins.

Well, she was basically the first troll.
Family story is that before I was born my parents had an apartment across the hall from a family named Wood.
Decades later my Dad was still horrified at the name they’d given their daughter, and just hit a mental log jam at how to politely address the issue to them. The thing was, they totally didn’t see it, because they pronounced her name oddly.
They said it like “Hawley”, but written down her name was Holly Wood.
I went to school with a girl who was going to name her child Blight or Blightina. I never found out why.
I dated a girl in college who’s grandmother’s name was Nylic. New York Life Insurance Company. The reason she was named that had something to do with her parents getting some life-saving loan and they wanted to honor the bank.
Sorry, Eyebrows 0f Doom, but this is NOT an urban legend. My sister performed tests on a child with the first name “L-a”, in Baltimore, MD. I wish it were a joke.
Oh, yeah. For some reason, when I see Eris, I always think of Eros instead.
I work with a woman who’s name is Andrea Doria. Born after the ship with the same name sank.
A few from my first hand experience:
A co-worker has two kids, Jimmy and Paige. When I asked her if she was a huge Led Zeppelin fan, she was completely confused. She had only a vague idea who Led Zeppelin was. Her husband thought it was hilarious.
I used to work with two partners named Archer and Bowman. They had been working together for many years and no one had ever realized that their names were synonyms.
Then I was hired by a guy whose last name was King. His assistant’s last name? Jester. Again, no one had ever pointed it the conincidence before.
My very next boss had the last name Cipolla. I fully expected his boss to be a Pomodoro. but alas the streak had ened.
I’ve issued a library card (complete with driver’s license verification) to a Shithead.
I shit you not.
I have a friend whose actual name is Lala. I asked her mom why she chose it and she said she just liked how it sounded. Needless to say there was lots of ear plugging and saying “Lalalalala, I can’t hear you!” growing up.
Did he look like John Malkovich?
I know a child named Tensix 7. Spelled just like that.
But seriously, I wonder if when his mother got pregnant the doctor, or someone else, told her she “just had a virus.”
TMI
Who counterintuitivley to a lot of us anyway, was actually a man!
I just received a booking from someone with the first name Viral.
IIRC, that’s a pretty common name in… India, I think? Pronounced something like “Shi-theed.”
You are correct sir! The patron was Indian he did say it was pronounced “Shi-theed.”
Still funny from an American context though.
I am aware of a European porn performer who on ocassion has gone by the name of “Virus Vellons”, which definitely strikes me as a name you do NOTwant to use in that line of work.
Or Spanish speakers, where you pronounce “Genesis” as HEN-eh-sees and the kid may drop the final s in casual conversation (and a few dialects tend to just drop the final s anyway).
BTW I’ve seen how some people tend to be of the idea that ANY word in the Bible is a suitable name. I suspect the kid named “Eunuch” may be a misspelling of “Enoch”, BUT also it could be intentional, that his mother may have read Matthew’s passage about how some people “are eunuchs for the sake of the Kingdom” or the passage in Acts about Philip meeting “a eunuch of great authority in the court” and not being quite clear on what that means but figuring it appears in a favorable context it must be a positive thing…
