I was just wondering what everyone's piggies names are! How do you decide on a name (especially those with several piggies), do you have any methods/influences for choosing names? Does it have to be a special suitable name, or do you just call them the first thing you can think of? My sister has about 10 dogs now all with names beginning with D, so that narrows her choices down a little! I still haven't decided on names for my boars yet and I collect them tomorrow!

Some great names there PigPog - I particularly like Sputnik and Trubble! At the moment I am thinking of calling my roan boar Wilbur (the pig from Charlotte's Web), and the black/ginger one Roly. What dya think?? Apparently the black one is more bold and vocal than his brother!

Well, these are the first pets I've had since I was about 12 and I didnt have much say in the other ones because my brothers got there first. We did have a budgie called Fred though (although she turned into a Freda, but we never worried about that!) So I went for literary characters. Mr Meggiepiggy will recognise ginger coloured twins called Fred & George......

Fred and George really suit their names! How do you tell them apart?! They look very similar.
I am a massive Harry Potter fan myself ;D

Fred's lighter, with a crest. And then again, they wheek in a slightly different tone, and they have their own personalities

Hi Kandi! Great to see you back again. Everything gone ok while you were 'away'? See what you've missed... new people, new piggies, new pictures to go ga-ga over. Any progress on persuading You-Know-Who?

Post by Kandi on Apr 1, 2008 18:31:56 GMT
Mmmm...Everything just okay...lol...
Er, unfortunately, no, there hasn't been any progress. I'm completely DYING to get two more than ever! I need it!!! Although, I'm still trying to persuade. Thanks for asking.
