I thought there should be a thread where we post what our guinea pigs names are, so let's hear them! Post your pigs names below!

I have Guiseppe and Georgie and mummy and baby pig(2 years old now lol) and my 2 newest I've called fuzzy butt and Phoenix although I tend to call them the white one and blackie lol.
I've added some pictures, in order they are
Baby pig
Georgie
Little Phoenix by the tunnel
Fuzzy butt
Guiseppe
 
Right now we have Sundae Vanilla (my kids think that pigs also deserve middle names!) and Hadley Cupcake.

Past pigs are Frenzy Popcorn and Linney Cupcake (she was near and dear to our hearts, so Hadley got the same middle name as a tribute.)

My original 3 girls are (from left to right) Daisy, Buttercup and Clover. It took us a little while to name them, so they were referred to by their colours for the first couple of weeks!

Our babies are called (left to right) Marmalade and Treacle.

For some reason I adore the name Treacle. I may just steal it.................
XD
 
I have two six month old sows named Coco who is mostly black (aka the monster or big boof head) and the bigger of the two and Patchy (aka the pellet pig or little white nose) because her fur has lots of patchy colour's.
 
My two sows were named by the rescue. Mistletoe (blonde with a white blaze) and Jingle (orange). Loved the names so i kept them.

I started with Shadow, so named due to her colour and that she hid in the shadows (re-home from a home who cared for her minimally)
Then Sunrise, a baby who brought a huge ray of sunshine to Shadow's life and was a warm colour, hence the name
Cloud was a black and white Abby-Lunki cross baby from a friend's litter
All the above names were names that I had chosen

The piggies below came to me already named. As they had come from good homes I kept the names.
We picked up Snowball on the same day as Cloud, she was 4 1/2 at the time, already named Snowball and was a much-loved piggy who's owner had been forced to give her up. This is where the weather theme ends.

Penny - another baby with a good start I life.
Freddie - a rehome but from a good loving home - already named
Oreo - a later rehome from the same home - already named
Ruby and Rosie, rehomes from the friend of a forum member and from a loving home - already named.

I imagine all of my future piggies will be rehomes or rescues, and basically my rule is if they were well treated by the previous home and the previous humans are going to miss their piggies then I keep the names to keep some kind of connection there.

I now just have Penny, Freddie, Ruby and Rosie, they all live as a herd (Freddie is neutered). Penny will be 3 this year, and Freddie must be around that age but not sure. Ruby and Rosie around 1 1/2
 
Here are my piggies names in order I got them I will start with my piggies that have gone to rainbow bridge.
Nazeem- named after Sheffield boxer nazeem hamed. (Love that name) he was from a friend of the family and he was bonded with pippin.

Pippin- named after auntie marbles dog from come outside a children's tv show. He was from a small local pet shop and was bonded with nazeem.

Jerry- my brother chose the name after changing it from john.( he was about 6 at the time and realised john didn't suit the guinea pig) :) he was from pets at home along with Henry.

Henry- was picked by me because I think it's such a cute name for a piggy although we used to shorted it to 'hens' he was bonded with jerry and from pets at home.

Fudge- a free ad piggy from gumtree who already had his name, we got him as a friend for frankie and I decided to keep his name because even though he had a bad start in life (was given away twice for biting) I wanted him know he was the same little piggy who eventually found love with us. (Kind of a weird way to look at it but I wanted him to know I loved him just the way he was and didn't need to change anything about him to love him so much)

Now to piggies who are still with us:

Frankie- me and my boyfriend have a funny way of getting free parking at the local fair. His uncle frank works at the fair so my boyfriend always sticks a hand written sign in the car saying "working with frank" instead of a parking ticket and the first time he did it I laughed so much I was in tears over it for days after. :) So it his name originated from frank but he was too cute to just be called frank so he became frankie. He was from a small pet shop that was closing down and they 'reduced' him to £5 so couldn't say I couldn't say no. He was bonded with fudge.

Florence- gumtree free ad again was living in a hamster cage and I was originally going to collect her and try and find a rescue to rehome her as I already had frankie and fudge and didn't want her smell to make them fight but they didn't and obviously I couldn't take her to a rescue so she stayed. Now bonded with Francis and peach.

Francis - wanted to keep the F themed names going and thought it was quite an unusual name for a guinea pig. And it's a lovely name which suits her. She was bought from gumtree as a friend for Florence and was up for sale because "the kids grew out of guinea pigs"

Peach- originally peaches but I prefer peach. Also couldn't think of any more F themed names so went for something different. She was bought from a local pet shop where the guinea pigs were in bad condition so my boyfriend talked me into "saving" her, turned out she had severe ringworm so the pet shop refunded me the money for her so basically no profit into the breeders hands and they said they would treat all their other animals and inform the breeder :) Now bonded with Florence and Francis.

Freddie- was from a small home run rescue as a companion for frankie after we sadly lost fudge. Frankie chose him and live happily together. I loved the name and had always said if I had a male I would call him Freddie but the name suits him perfectly:)

Honey- again couldn't think of an F themed name so named her honey because she is like a honey colour. And the names cute and so is she. She was my Valentine's Day present from my boyfriend this year and will soon hopefully be bonded with peach, Florence and Francis.

I usually go with old fashioned human names but like with Mouse, the nickname stuck and I can't think of her as anything else now! And Harry came with her name as she was missexed, but nothing else seemed to fit :D
