Hiya everyone!
When I was five, I got my first Guinea-Pigs. I had a white American Guinea-Pig called Snowy and a brown American Crested Guinea-Pig called Rono! As you can see Snowy is quite a stereotypical name for a white pet. I know sometimes it's hard to name a Guinea-Pig!❤️
So my question for you is:
What is your Guinea-Pigs name and how did you come up with it?

(Add some pictures of your Pigs!)

My two females are called Bubble and Squeak. I came up with the name Bubble because she is quite chubby (shh, don't tell her I said that! ;)) and looks like a Bubble, and Squeak because she squeaks allot. Bubble and Squeak also go together as a dish! Here is a photo of them both: (Bubble is the red and white, Squeak is the black and red.)
Your guinea pig in the profile picture is adorable!

I named one of my guinea pigs Grace (left in my pic). We did that because she is probably the most clumsy thing we know. Get the irony?
Pumpkin (right in my pic): We got her around Halloween, and her fur was much darker and pumpkin colored when we got her as a baby.

My pigs are River Song, Rose Tyler, and Fuzzbutt. River and Rose are both characters from Dr. Who and Fuzzbutt is just because she's a fuzzbutt lol

if you think Snowy is a stereotypical pet name.. hmm.. i call one of my girls Piggy! haha. its just a cute thing to call out PLUS she -loves- her food. and i really mean LOVE. She's the tortoiseshell colored Texel and likes to keep a watch ful eye on the fridge from her tunnel. The other piggy i named Lily, since her previous owners named her Lili Vanilli. She's shy, and only started soft wheeking for food yesterday!

One of our boars moves EVERYTHING around! Like a bull dozer! His name is Dozer! We have two sows - (I LOVE coffee) so the black Silky is named Espresso, and the brown/white is Breve'! Our other boar wasn't expected to live very long when we got him, (Little Pig)so we never really changed his name! When we got him, we were told he was a she! (He is going to be a daddy any day now!) . . . but I end up either giving them nicknames or changing the pronounciation. So Little Pig was shortened to Lil' Pig . . . now it's just Pig but pronounced like Piog;)!!!

My oldest sow is Twix named because she has a bit of caramel coloring on her fur and I usually like naming my piggies after foods. ;) Maple,who we THOUGHT was a sow,and actually a boar,was named for is light coloring. He and one of his sons got adopted out. Carrot,one of the babies,was named for his orange face. Biscuit was named for his light coloring,and Flower (my picture) was named because she looks like the skunk from Bambi.

223885_10152051783210015_944634825_n.jpg This is Duff! He's named after Duff Goldman of Food Network's Ace of Cakes. He's goofy and laid back at the same time just like the person.

I'm hoping to find a black and white pig just so I can call him/her Skunk :D

This is Charlemagne. I had a number of historical names that I wanted to use, some of which included:
1. Hatschepsut (the Egyptian queen)
2. Marguerite (the woman in the black-and-white movie part of Annie)
3. Calypso (the woman from The Odyssey)
and...
4. Charlemagne (Germanic king, whose name just sounded female :D)

So you can see which ones I went with (or maybe you don't know)
Her full name is Charlemagne Calypso (insert last name)
Cute piggies everyone!

We have two girl piggies.

The first is named Marshmallow. Here she is:

We named her that because, to me, she looks just like . . .

a toasted marshmallow!

Our other piggie is Fluff:

We named her Fluff because she's a teddy, so very fluffy, but also because it "goes" with Marshmallow.

@mamattorney I think those have to be the cutest pigs I have ever seen! Mine are named Penelope and Kiwi. There is no cute story as to how I came up with them. I just like the names but I should have named Penelope Kiwi and Kiwi Penelope because Penelope is golden agouti in color and she looks like a kiwi fruit lol

The tan, black and white abby is Roscoe. I named him Roscoe because when i hear the name i think of some guy with his hair spiked up ready to go surfing.
On the right is our american piggy, Zander. I named him Zander because my boyfriend couldn't think of a name, and he wanted it to be different. My boyfriends middle name is Alexander. So we took the ending of it. :)

On the left, the little black american piggy, is Pepe. We named her pepe, because she is sweet like Pepe La Pew. (Even though he was a boy.. :p )
On the right, is my darling teddy:love: Her name is Pumpkin. I named her pumpkin because every Thanksgiving my mom would make these pumpkin rolls, with the pumpkin bread and on the inside was cream cheese. When i saw her, she reminded me exactly of it. :)

Thank you for reading.
