We were just wondering if you were like us and have nicknames for your pigs?

This is our lot - Wallace is Wally - not too original
Tim is Timmy - especially when he's being a bad boy
Ouzo is Mr Fluffy - as most himmys are
Morgan is Mrs Moo - dont know why but she suits it - it's those big brown doe eyes

Bentley - Bents or Bentley Bum
Marmite - Marmy pig/boy or Marmighty
 
Zee is known as Zeebles, Zee- Creature and Zee-bee.

Leo is little man,snaily (Because the way he spreads his top lips makes him look like a snail) :(|) and Leo the lion. Heh heh.
 
Jerry is Jerrybelly, or sometimes just 'Belly' for short.

Marley and Frankie usually end up with 'pig' added to the end - Marleypig/Frankiepig. We also refer to them both collectively as 'the babies' even though they're both now over 2 years old!

Ryou, my newest little baby has also gained the nickname, 'my little man' and 'the little guy' in the past few days. As well as Mr Nosy. And brave little bubba because I've had him for just a week and he's already so brave.
