I've had Dougal and Zebadee - they started off as Cardamom and Coriander but it didn't really suit them and then Dougal's coat grew from the scruffy mop top he started with into a gorgeous Dougal shape.
My most recent pair were Mycroft and Moriarty. I've always been a Sherlock Holmes fan, but Holmes and Watson was too obvious a choice and my Mycroft always seemed to be a deep thinker.....
Call your pigs something like 'big un' and 'little un' for now and change their names when their personalities comes through.

I have Ellie as she was called that when i was given her from her previous owner &
Grace who was about 6 months old, incredibly skittish as she had come from an overcrowded hutch so its short for Guinea-Race, she has now settled & is possibly one of the most laid back cuddly pigs you could imagine! (Also i had an aunt called grace & she was a bit mad, i got my furball version on the anniversary of her passing, so i thought she would find it a laugh to have a piggy named after her)
my past piggies (RIP) have had no themes, i just picked names that suited them.
Kizzy-just suited her & her sister Turbo (she had a go faster stripe),
Dumpling (Kizzy's unexpected daughter, my first guinea pigs hadn't been separated from dad when i got them
) She had to be the biggest baby you have ever seen... although very cute!
Podge (chunky pig) (waistline like her hoomans
)
Bea (for bungy jumped over my shoulder on her first day, went from lap, to shoulder, to floor within seconds when my mum leaned over & made her jump. mum was distraught so couldn't call her bungy.
Polar BEW (Bea's unexpected baby, again previous owners not separated in time. but she was rejected by Bea& died shortly after).
Tinkerbell, as she wee'd all over me on first meeting & ran under the seats into the foot-well of the car before we left the rescue! she was so naughty &very vocal
The three day guinea pig... bought off a woman who's daughter had some to sell (pre-forum days & i needed to find Tinkerbell company as she was depressed at Bea's passing) she wouldn't bond so gave her back 3 days later she'd kept picking on Tinkerbell &made her squeal, had to be separated because injuring her. couldn't take it back before as woman was away for 2 days
Doodle, she was laid back & went all floppy when i picked her up so (Flop)Doodle... loved being stroked the wrong way too!
Dash, she would just do zoomies everywhere & skit around like a loon,
Guinea no name as she came from the same overcrowded hutch as Dash & the owner couldn't cope, but they didn't mix well & Dash was bullied so that one went back the next day & home came Libby for Dash(possibly Dash's sister..but blissfully compatible
) she hardly moved through fright at first so i called her the statue of liberty.. libby for short.
Then lonely elderly lady (Silky) Pooh was given to me, but i didn't like that (&she wasn't silky, as hardly handled either, children had grown out of her, so called her Boo as she always looked startled, she had lots of health issues & unfortunately was only with me a few months.
then up to date with Ellie & grace... sorry bit of a long winded answer!
But that's my girls over the years (don't think i have forgotten anyone!) & why they were named as such

I have Gwenda, little Gwenda and Bambi. Little Gwenda and Bambi were rescues. Bonded with my Gwenda. Couldn't think of a name and as she is identical to Gwenda, little Gwenda kind so stuck!
My whippets are Jetho and Ziva off of NCIS.

Podge is a great name, haven't heard that one before! Mine is called Theodopoulos (or Theo) for short. He came from a homeless shelter too.
