I've got Sydney (Syd for short) and Adelaide (mammy and daddy Kune Kune)
Rora (blame the kids) Toffee and Big Red (next generation of Kune Kunes)
Fatty the castrated KK
Squirt and smudge the Berkshires
And the LB's are probably going to be Lady and Duchess
We named one lot of weaners Sausage and Rasher, but haven't named any 'eating' pigs since  ;)

Valentine (had a perfectly shaped heart on his ham  :-*)
Spottie The First
Bigspot
Black Ear
Pyjamaman (no religious connotations! When we visited him as a tiny weaner he looked as if he was wearing peachy pyjamas because he had next to not spots and his pink skin was visible through his white hair - plus he absolutely loved to have his hair brushed, probably our first gay piggy!  ;D)
Triple (3 spots above his tail)
Cuddle (the first one of a litter to lie down for a belly rub - often confused with Triple when they've been rolling through the mud and are all a uniform brown!)
...

and those were all 'eaters', not 'keepers'  ;D  Couldn't help but name them, they were just so cute!

Hot lips... now I wonder what that was based on??  ;D  ;D

we only have weaners to eat at the moment
the 2 black ones are called Poppy and Petal
they 2 white are stumpy (little tail) and longtail
they were called minger and munter as they were not the prettiest girls when we got them and then i felt bad as they have the bestest temprement......
I know you shouldn't have favourites amoung your babies but poppy (because shes the smallest) and longtail as she will stand for ages getting her hair brushed :pig: :pig: ;D

they are due to go around the 17th Jan if all goes well :yum:

Well I thought Oprah was a lovely name too, but she became Ochra.  Hilary Clinton and Edwina Curry have not complained so far !!  :D

You've named Hilary after Hilary Clinton? ;D
(Just don't anybody call their piggy Sarah Palin, they'd get shot from a low flying helicopter! ::) )


We tend to give ours names depending on their character or spots - the latter method can seem a bit daft after one of their mud-sliding matches  ::)
