I'm new here and I'm not sure if this has been a topic before i did search for it but didnt see a thread for how you chose your beauties names.

Sparkle was chosen because she has sparkly blue eyes

Yuna, Rikku and Paine are the names of the 3 main chars in Final fantasy X-2 who I love

mmm My two babies are named after two chipmunks from Alvin and the chipmunks. (Alvin and Theodore).

Gilly (Gilbert) is not named after anyone/thing in particular.. the name just suited him :)

fluffy monster- he was originaly called fluff but he was such a cheeky character, so we added the the monster.
poke- because of the crest on her head
little jack- shes the spitting image of my mums old piggy called jack
teddy and bear- they look like little teddy bears :)
 
I chose Rene because of 'allo, 'allo. I wanted an obvious French naff name (I'm French), and Bertie (short of Albert) also cos it was a naff-sounding name in French.

Finlay is cos my OH is Scottish and Frankkie, well, the OH chose that, dunno why except it starts with an F.
 
Oreo is called Oreo because when I went to pick him up I was eating white chocolate coated Oreo cookies lol and he's brown and white like an oreo cookie too
 
CheesyPuff because he looks like a big round wotsit and I sometimes call my OH cheesypuff as a term of endearment lol. And Gilbert after Sandra Gilbert the feminist literary critic.
 
Piglet = *** he's greedy
Gizmo = *** we were gona call him and piglet gadget and gizmo
Rocky = because he has a mowhawk
Humphrey = *** emma thought it was cute
 
Tigger and Thumper..... I love Winnie the Pooh, Eeyore is my favourite but it didn't suit either of them, Tigger is black with orangey stripes so he got that name, then my other boy suited Thumper as he makes a lot of noise running about the cage, when you are sitting downstairs you can hear him running about and it sounds like thumping! They were originally going to be called carrot and parsnip, hence my username!
 
Dobby, Bellatrix, Fluffy, and Luna got their names from Harry Potter characters.
Enrico and Fermi were named after Enrico Fermi :))
Bob and Woog because the names suited them
and Willow was pre-named

:)
 
Nuzzle and scratch - named by my two year old... after his faverite CBEEBIES programe...
Cleo - because she had this attitude of a queen... lol
Thorn- becuase hes a tough little thing...!
Oliver- was already named and i thought olly wolly suited him.. ;).. becuase bless him hes the most loving a dopey piggie you'll ever meet

My boyfriend is computer geek so got most names from that topic.

Gizmo = gadgets
Dongle
Mushkin = computer brand
Cable
Pixal

and humbug is the odd one but hes got a colouring of a humbug sweet and he's moody pig lol
 
Ralph came from...Well, I always liked the name and when I was a kid I had a cuddly dog teddy/puppet called Ralph who went everywhere with me.
They look nothing alike, though.

Louie I named after someone very special to me.

Arnold is Arnold because...It's the big white "eyebrow" and "beard" he looks like an old, distinguished man :)) So I thought "Arnold is a distinguished name!"
 
Penny because she is black and white and when i first saw her at 24 hours old she just reminded of of a penguin :red no idea why but the name was there and it stuck.

Nancy because her first picture sent to me when she was 8 hours old, she was sat on a newspaper and her foot was on the name Nancy so that stuck, she chose it herself.

Boris, well you look him in the face, and everyone says it, Boris suits him. He was going to be Arthur, but it really didnt suit him. So hes Boris Big Pig :))
 
Hmm well.
Doris - When we got her she just sat there and looked like a little old lady, so she was named Doris (no offence if anyone has that name and they're not old!)
Terry - He reminded me and my mum of chocolate, as he's chocolate cream and white so he was named after Terry's chocolate.
Frazzle - Well, when I was sent a picture of Frazzle I thought it looked like he had been electricuted, so he was named Frazzle but is nicknamed Fraz. My mum calls him Frank though as she prefers human names..! rolleyes
Annie - My mum named her, she was like a little lost girl so it suited her.

And now..
George - My OH named him. No reason he said he 'just had to be called George'.
