The name of my toes [closed]
The toes are, from medial to lateral:
- Hallux ("big toe" or "great toe"), the innermost (most proximal) toe and the closest to the toes of the other foot
- Second toe or "long toe" (although commonly shorter than the big toe)
- Third toe, occasionally described as the "ring toe"
- Fourth toe, sometimes described as the "ring toe"
- Fifth toe ("little toe", "pinky toe", or "baby toe"), the outermost (most distal) toe
Looking on Ngrams, the names that are most used appear to be:
Big toe,
Second toe,
Third toe (or middle toe),
Fourth toe,
Little toe (or fifth toe).
I have left "big toe" out of the Ngram, because it dominates everything else.
To continue your naming terminology (which are the common names anyway):
- Big toe
- Index toe
- Middle toe
- Ring toe
- Pinky toe
