Name changes?

[ms pixie riot]

This might be a silly question, but how much, if at all, do piggers recognize/respond to their names? I'm bringing home two 10 month old girls this weekend, but they have boys' names, and I'm trying to decide whether to rename or not.

I left all my adopted boars names the same. But they all have nicknames that they respond to. I say wait and see how they respond, then you can change them if you like or just give them some nicknames.

I changed Cowlick to his current name Harry he comes to it might take you a little while to get them used to it but they learn

My pigs respond more to the tone of my voice rather than their names.

My pigs tend to know their own names and their cagemates' names. Jackie, for instance, gets freaked out and runs away when he hears his name. I think it should be fine to change a couple of 10 month old's names.

Coco responds to his name. (Most of the time) other times, I think he ignores me! LOL! But he always responds to veggies! But if he is eating and I say his name, he will stop and try to find me. It is funny. Or other times, he will stop chew once or twice stop again then continue.
