Can you give an actual name for Dr. Hedo's parents?

Gero is Japanese onomatopoeia to represent vomiting, so is Gevo and Vomi is self-explanatory. Hedo is also a word for vomit and if you listen to the Japanese dub, characters like Freeza will often say stuff like "hedo ga desou," which means something along the lines of "I think I'm going to be sick."

What would be a legitimate, Toriyama-esque name for Gero's second child and Hedo's parent? I'd imagine they'd probably have a vomit-related name since Toriyama likes to keep related characters with generally the same name pun schemes.

Spew and Sick.

I didn't fully realise that was the theme of their names but knew there must have been something like that going on. Cool. Wonder why they're all named after vomit?
