Reading

はなぢ
  • Kyoko
    (Tokyo accent, female)
  • Kenichi
    (Tokyo accent, male)
はなじ
  • Kyoko
    (Tokyo accent, female)
  • Kenichi
    (Tokyo accent, male)

Explanation

The readings are the kun'yomi vocab readings. You already know 鼻's reading from the kanji and vocab, and you should know the vocab reading of 血 as well. Put them together and you have はなち, though you want to change the ち to ぢ. Alternatively, it's possible (though less common, but it doesn't matter if you're turning it to kanji via an IME anyways) to write it as はなじ. I guess that blood added a little tenten (it represents the blood coming out of that nose!). Spurt spurt spurt.
