I was wondering what your (collective or individual) nicknames for your piggies are. Here are mine:

Smokey: Graham and People Pig.

Bacon: Mr. Mischief and People Pig.

Collective: Piggies, Piggle Wiggles, Trouble Makers and People Piggies.
 
Aubrey is pretty cheeky and always causing mischief, plus she's suuuper impatient when it comes to getting and eating her vegetables - so she gets called "demon" or "<insert vegetable> demon" eg "little fennel demon". Affectionately, of course 😍
Lup is print chocolate brown and has a little pink nose - so she gets called "wombat". 💜
Both of them get called "cutie", or "cuties" collectively. And to my partner and me they are of course "our girls/babies" ❤️
 
Bracken since he has been ill is Sweetie, Rusty is Dusty Rusty (I wanted to call him Dusty my OH picked Rusty), Spike is Grumpy, Peanut is Nutty, Caspian is Caspy and Red is Redly. Together they were known as The piggles or the Piggle Puggles, but since we have had huge vet bills in the last month (still ongoing) they are called The New Car!
 
We're not that creative, ours are generally just Had (for Hadley) and Leels (for Leela.) Though we do have some fun with Hadley's name... for instance, when she's angry she's Madley, when she's happy she's Gladley, when she is following a trend she's Fadley, when she has too much to eat she's Fatley, when she's wearing a hat she's Hatley... the name just keeps on giving.
 
Theo is "badger boy" or "the love badger" or "handsome boy"
Puggle is "puggly pants"
Jezebel is "floofy pants" or "the floofster" or "Jezzy floof"
Clover is "monster chops" or "fatty pants"
Piggle is the very naughty piggy called "mad piggle" or "hey stop that" or on one occasion when she was being very nasty to Jezebel I even called her "snake food"
 
My lot get called so many different variations of their names with 'bean' mixed in, it's kind of hard to keep up with those XD The only one used with regularity is Shellybean, for Shelly.

Cinnamon gets called screamy, screamy chubchub or chubbers..

Leonard is Lenyald..for some reason, Mr.Melons, derp face and Lenlen.

Panda very quickly because Pandemonium because she is an absolute menace!

Delilah doesn't so much have nicknames as lines from songs.. I quite often sing 'hey there Delilah' or something at the poor thing.

Bramble is Bram, Bramalam, Bramalamadingdong.. floofer, floof, wonky, wobbles, fuzzbum, she has so many I can't keep track of them lol!

Ebony is Smol pig or smol peeg because she was so tiny when we got her.

Oh and Crazy Daisy..because she's absolutely nuts.

Collectively they're the Beans, pigwiggles, Pigleroos, piggies, fridgeraiders or piggoes.
 
Not very original here - Bob gets called 'Old Boy' and Thomas is 'Junior' as there's a 6 year age gap between them and collectively they are 'The Boys' or the 'Squigpigs'
 
Meg is Meggy, Megsters or Meggy poos
Betsy is Bets or Beautiful or The Ever Beautiful Betsy.
Velvet is just Velvet cos no one would dare to call her anything different:yikes::yikes:
Christian is sometimes Mr Handsome.
Dennis is just Dennis cos that is his name.

Together they are "you lot" or "you 'orrible lot".
 
Bringing this thread back, my boys have earned the name “Piggalings”
 
Smokey: Pigalig, Shmokeh, Pigaling, Cutie, Crazy pig, Graham, Captain Chaos, Buddy!

Bacon: Bacon with a French accent, Furry bum, Pigaling, Chicken bum/butt, Pigalig, Buddy!

Collective: Boys, the terrible twosome, pigaligs, pigalings, pigtatoes, cuties
 
Left to right in the pic:

Tommy is Tomster cause its cute.
Tiny is Houteny cause when we first had him it was always a case of "How did you get in/over/under/through there?"
Tinker is Stinker cause he was and still is a to pick up, he is getting better though.

Collectively they get called the boys or the 3 T's.
 
Pippin - Pip, Pipster, Fatty bum bum,

Peanut who was known as Nutty is now Nunu! Bracken was sadly PTS in January and we now have Brillo who is often called Baby Brillo, Baby or Whisp, Whispy.
 
I have two boys, Honey (as named by my mum) and Little One (formerly called ‘little one for now’).

Little One doesn’t have as many nicknames - Little, yeeda, yeeda yeeda, peeka peeka, Little angel

Honey has so many names - Hoo, Fat Honey, Fat hoo, fatty Hoo, skinny Hoo, Hoo bean, bean, beanie, Fat angel

I just can’t help myself with the nicknames, I’m sure they’ve had more which have just faded out of existence :D
 
Meg is Meggy or Meggle, Sherbet is just Sherbet, Flump is sometimes Mrs. Mop or Wiggy, and Pumpkin is Little Pig or Piggie Smalls.
