Help, Naming!!
I just got a little baby piggy! I need help naming him any suggestions? He is a white, orange, and little black. He is only about 8 weeks old. He still has a spot where you may feel his umbillical cord!

Re: Help, Naming!!
I don't really have any suggestions for specific names but, if you have a picture to post that may help.
Yu can also try thinking of names of cartoon characters, book characters, etc...

Re: Help, Naming!!
Have a look at this list Names for Guinea Pigs It's got a ton of ideas.

I'd wait a few days before giving them a name, it will usually just come to you once you play with them for a while.

Re: Help, Naming!!
I agree with Haley. The names just seem to come after you observe their behavior and personality. He's only 2 months old, you have plenty of time to decide.

Re: Help, Naming!!
If he still has that spot, I'd wager he is younger than 8 weeks.

How much does he weigh?

Re: Help, Naming!!
I named my little himi Paddington, he reminds me of a polar bear but I got his name from a cartoon I use to watch with my kids. Do you have a favorite tv or book character???

I got him from a shelter, I think his mom was adoptable too.
