Hexie, Freddie and Babychino!

[Mrs Tiggy Winkle]

I'd keep Babycino too! Who cares what the vet thinks? Plus they've probably heard even wonkier names before.

 

[Merab]

I did restrain myself from using one name for a piggy out of sympathy for any vet.
My name theme is Biblical names and I felt that Mahershalalhashbaz was aa little unkind if we ever needed to see a vet

 

[Betsy]

You could have called him Baz!

 

[Mrs Tiggy Winkle]

Have you decided on a name?

My former coworker named her hamster that but called him speedy for short

ok it’s official, I’ve taken the cutest photos ever!!

Baby is so confident now I am so pleased - she is even more confident than her mama! She gets the zoomies and popcorns like crazy too. Yesterday made me giggle, freddie and hexie were sat eating some pellets from the bowl (like a civilised couple) and baby was just running around popcorning zooming everywhere - really reminded me of a toddler running around madly whilst the parents try to eat their dinner and have 5 mins peace

She is learning her confidence from the best though - Freddie is sooo tame he is literally the most ‘puppy’ pig, he is so curious with humans, he loves coming up and seeing everyone, he also always goes nose to nose and chats to my mums dog when we look after him haha, he will snuggle into me and sleep on me for well over an hour lol, he loves watching films with me! He is a very special piggie.

Hexie is still so nervy of us bless her, am trying to tame her but it is difficult- I think Freddie is really helping her see that I am not going to hurt her! She was left dumped in someone’s garden (the owners had moved out and left 18 pigs in a cardboard box in the garden! Most pregnant by the looks of it). I can’t imagine what she went through to make her this distrusting of humans - poor girlie

Anyway, I am glad she is with us now, and I am glad Baby was born into a loving home

We still haven’t decided on a name…

 

[Mrs Tiggy Winkle]

How horrible for Hexie and her 17 companions! It's great she's now with you and has Freddie to teach her not all humans are awful.

 

[Mrs Tiggy Winkle]

Have you decided on a name?

Sorry, was that inappropriate? I didn't mean to be that way or to cause stress. My apologies!

 

[Edam]

No no not inappropriate at all! I cry reacted as more of a ‘cry I am so indecisive and can’t find a name ahhh!’ not at your comment, it was sweet that you checked up!

 

[thewheakybeans]

Those photos are gorgeous, the cutest piggy family ever!

 

[Merab]

Thank you for the cuteness warning.
It was definitely needed
She’s so

These are extremely cute piggy pictures It's so great that they are living with you now

 

[Edam]

It’s my lettuce leaf…. No it’s mine!

 

[CTWC]

Sooooo cute

 

[Edam]

First time I’ve seen her relaxed out in the open! Next to her fave Freddie of course! She is getting very bossy… she is wheeking at me for veggies all the time and stealing veggies from Freddie’s mouth!! Still haven’t got a name!

 

[Roselina]

Btw I love your profile photo @Edam
So sweet

 

[Truffolo]

She's adorable

 

[Viennese Furbabies]

Maybe that's a sign that she is meant to stay Babychino.

 

[Merab]

I agree. Babychino seems to suit her.

She’s looking so grown-up already! But she’ll always be the baby one.

 

[Betsy]

Does she answer to Babychino? Saxon answered to his name not long after I renamed him (from Effie!)

 

[Mrs Tiggy Winkle]

Effie!?! Good job you changed that!

 

[Betsy]

Effie!?! Good job you changed that!

That's what I thought! Who in there right minds calls a guinea pig Effie?!?!? I certainly didn't suit him.

 

[Wiebke]

China? That is not miles from Babychino. It is also not a guinea pig name I have come across on the forum yet in 17 years and with tens of thousands of piggies passing through here.

 

[Mrs Tiggy Winkle]

Dina? Rhyming with China.
Ursa? Ursula? (Oorsoola) Which mean bear, little bear. In Germany, girls and women christened Ursula often turn their name into Uschi (ooshee).

 

[Edam]

Btw I love your profile photo @Edam
So sweet

Hehe thanks so much, I actually have it printed and put on the wall of their cage as a little family portrait! I'm not sure of my thoughts on AI, but chatgpt sure does make a good little portrait!

She’s looking so grown-up already! But she’ll always be the baby one.

I know! I actually can't believe how big she has gotten! But she will always be baby to me

Does she answer to Babychino? Saxon answered to his name not long after I renamed him (from Effie!)

No she doesn't really answer to anything, she's deffo in her own world haha! (However I did call out 'Baby' to talk to her the other day and my boyfriend replied from upstairs thinking I was being sweet and calling him baby )... side note Effie! What a name haha Saxon is deffo a much better regal name!

China? That is not miles from Babychino. It is also not a guinea pig name I have come across on the forum yet in 17 years and with tens of thousands of piggies passing through here.

Ooh China is a good idea, or maybe 'Cheena'... so that it isn't mispronounced?

Dina? Rhyming with China.
Ursa? Ursula? (Oorsoola) Which mean bear, little bear. In Germany, girls and women christened Ursula often turn their name into Uschi (ooshee).

Dina is cute, but it reminds me of Dina from that show 'Superstore'... and she doesn't have Dina energy I don't think. Ooh Ursula is cute, I like the name ooshee too! and little bear definitely suits her energy!


I think she will always be babychino/baby to us, but she does need a 'full government name' for her official business, I can see her becoming prime minister!!

I'd considered Cheena but wasn't sure whether it was actually a real name. However, in the UK it is an acknowledged variant of the name China (I just googled) and it is also a girls name in Urdu. Quite a distinctive and unusual name but still a proper name.

So yes, she can happily drop the baby as she grows up - much to your OH's relief - but basically keep the second half of her name. Sometimes the simple solutions are best because they cater to both the familiarity but also to changing circumstances. And your niece can still be proud of having inspired her name.

PS: I love your new avatar!

Yes it definitely is an option thank you! It is good it is recognised name! Thank you about the avatar compliment, I do love it too

I could try and get chatgpt to make more types of those images for people of their piggies if they would like - it takes a bit of refining the 'prompt' to chatgpt and a bit hit and miss - just let me know, send some pics and I can deffo have a go!

I’d vote for her

Me too
