Sounds daft but do you have nicknames for your piggies?
I have felicity at home but she is known now as FlipFlop. I had Cinnamon and she was known as Silly Bum.

Celery doesnt have a nickname but I do have a habit of singing *in the tune of Valerie* "Why dont you come on over, Celery"

Saying that, we had two cats Murray and Pip and they were known as Murrymops Morley and Pippidydoodog...

Please tell me that me and my family arent the only ones that do this! haha

You'd re not the only ones :D
I call Walter my little Polar Bear and Gus my chunky hansom man.
I have 3 snakes too which get called big guy, Mr Clivington and Psycho (actual names are Gozer, Clive and Beetlejuice)
 
i called professor turtle, turtle, and wicca the destroyer, wicca.
which is not really impressive
but i do sing in the tune of spider pig from the simpsons movie,
squealy pig, squealy pig, does whatever a squealy pig does
can it swing, from a web, no it can it'll freak out
look out, its a squealy pig
 
hehe i love hearing nicknames. Norman is just Normy and Sully is Sull Sull. the hams, Flump is Flumper or Flumpy and Oreo is Orty or Ortio. The cats, Daisy is Dae Dae or Fatapillar, Scarlet is Scartty, Scarty Lead or Gingy Bits and Max is Mooch, Moosha or MooMoo.
 
It's not just you! Fuzzy gets called The Fuzz sometimes. Pinky becomes Mr Pinkerton or Mr Pinkman. Our long haired pig, Mouse, gets called Hairy (for obvious reasons) or the little lion as she has gingery blonde hair like a mane around her face. Oreo doesn't really have a nickname though I have called her a big meanie before when she's showing off her dominance in the cage!
 
Giving nicknames is a way of showing affection. My late Suzie I used to call Suze or Subo, as in Asbo on account of her bad behaviour! Inka I often call Inkybinky, Ink the Pink or Inkybum as her bottom is black! Crow Feather is just Feather or even Fevver (don' t ask me why!)!
 
Hazelnut is Hazelnutty or Grumpy Nut. Peanut Butter is PB or Sir Poops-A-Lot (my granddaughter's nickname for him). Collectively they're known as The Baby Boys (even though both are over 3 years old) or Munchkins..
 
All mine have nicknames too.
Shereen- ginger snap biscuit, shereeny, reeny.
Amelia Jane- mimi, little one.
Sophie- munch munch, Sophie pie.
Mooli- moo moos, the last dinosaur.
Faisel- mr bunny, Faisel bum bum.
 
Ours are very rarely called what they should be! Nick names started early for most of them and have stuck...

Angus is most often Mangus, Mangoosta, Goosta, Mangus Table, or even just Table! ( The table comes from the fact he tends to stand with his legs on all 4 corners)
Hamish is usually just Mish or Mishy and some times Mishicle
Harris is almost always just known as H or Big H. He's sometimes called H-Dog because he behaves much more like a dog than a piggy!
Struan is usually called Strubes, Stru or Strubee-poos

My OH and I don't call us by our proper names either and I grew up with a nickname sued by my parents so it's all normal in our house :)

Jerry is 'Belly' or 'Bellypig'.
Frankie is known as 'McPig' by my other half (I have no idea why!)
Collectively, Frankie and Marley are known as 'the babies', despite being over 3 years old!

We like collective names :) Hamish & Angus have been known as 'The Sheep' since the day they arrived......
 
Lol I have the girls Fatty, Fluffy and little Dot (Coco, Crunchie & Dotty) and the boys, Rodders, Sharkpig, Humpy, Montmeister, FredBear and... George (poor George doesn't get one!) The newest ones haven't been gifted a nickname yet either, but I'm sure its only a matter of time!
 
We like to call them both princesses. But most often Lily is called Dinky toy, and Lola has several:
Thick and fury.
Miss Wriggle Bottom.
Chief chew a lot.
 
Ours are litte alvin. Simey and garffy or gfunk instea of alvin, Simon and garfuncle. The trouble is alvin isn't so little anymore. He's the heaviest piggy:-)
 
I love giving pets nick names my girls are florrie - florrie dorie then I say (just keep swimming swim swim swimming) as in finding nemo.
Betsy is Betsy bumbles.
Or if its both of them I'm talking to I call them werlies.
 
Collectively I refer to mine as "the piggles" but when I walk into see them I always say something daft like "good evening ladypigs and gentlepig". Mr Ted is always called Mr Fuzzy or Mr Teddy Bear and Fudge is Mrs Fatface Fudge. Connie is Connie Bonnie and Violet is Velvet Vi. I think they suit them all.
 
Haha love the nicknames! My husband is scottish so he refers to them as 'the wee guinea guineas' as I now do and my kids!
Loki is lokums or 'greedy piggy poo' cause she always tries to keep all the veggies to herself!
Lily is Lilian - my 6 year old calls her 'secret agent Lily pin' but I have no idea why! :-)
 
we call eddie - eds, crazy eddie, eddie bear, steady eddie, steady eddie bear, itty bitty bear.... :))

mollie we only really call molls, mollie mop, and miss mollie :))
 
Our Phoebe gets called Phoebe-Weeby, Phoebicles, Fibsy or Popsy. Or "the naughty one!"

Queenie is Weeney-Queenie, which is a bit of a joke, as she has the honour of being the largest guinea pig we've ever had!

Flora is sometimes Floracle, and Cupcake can be Cuppers or Cuppy.

Looking at this, it seems a bit unfair that Phoebe has got lots of nicknames whereas the others only have one or two!
 
My lovely Bonnie I most often address as Bon-bons, Clyde is also known as Mr Cutie-face, Beano I call Beanbeans. Some of the others I've mentioned before in a previous post.
 
Thor gets called Fluff-pig, Fluff-bum, Stinky-bum, Mr Fluuuuuff and Man Pig.

Widget is Widger, Worried Widget or Chut-chut (she never wheeks but chuts around like a little chicken).

Pixel is Mrs Fatty or Mrs Pig (and more recently, a big hairy money drain!).
