Article name
editGoogle Ngram shows that "lateral femoral cutaneous nerve" is a far more common name in the literature than "lateral cutaneous nerve of thigh" or "lateral femoral cutaneous nerve of the thigh". There may be grounds for renaming the article as per WP:COMMONNAME. However, "lateral cutaneous nerve of thigh" is the common name given by Terminologia Anatomica.
Unfortunately, Ngram only allows phrases with 5 or fewer words, so "lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh" was tested as "lateral cutaneous nerve of the" - this could refer to a few other nerves (such as forearm and calf), but even these combined are much less commonly mentioned than "lateral femoral cutaneous nerve".
