Hi There.

So went to the farm to pick up my litter mate brothers to take them home. they are settling in nicely to their new cage and home!
Here they are:

However, both boys still are lacking names. I was thinking Lightning and Thunder (as they were brought home in a major storm!) Also thought Smores for the white/black/browny one. And Panada for the mostly black (and white) one. But I would like them to be a pair. *sigh( hope they fit in to a name soo!

Pete and Repeat
Yin and Yang
Toasty (for the lighter one) and Burnt

Basically, it can take me days to find the right name for pets. You have to learn their personalities. If they are silly pigs, go with a silly pair name. If they are more mild pigs, go with a more serious pair name. I am also partial to the Lightening and Thunder idea :)

I think Panda and S'mores is adorable, though it depends on their personalities. I think Yin and Yang (@ThePigSlave 's suggestion) is really cute too - and the colours go with it.

Since you have a flower in your user name, how about plant names like Birch, Bamboo, Clove, Clover, Coconut, Dragon, Flax, Kousa, Peanut, Rocket, Rue, Sweet William, Teasle, Yarrow or if your name is a color, maybe colors for their names.

You sound like me! I like my babies to have matching names, too. I have used an Astronomy theme to name all my pets. The dog is Galaxy, the cats are Nebula, Eris and Mercury (now passed on), the conure parrot is Quasar, and my two little board are Phobos & Deimos, the moons of Mars. If you like names to match, just brainstorm it!

Ranger & Tonto
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Fred & George
You were talking about a cloudy and stormy day... Cirrus and Nimbus (types of clouds).
Castor & Pollux (twin stars in the Gemini constellation)
Yin & Yang that ThePigSlave suggested is cute, but keep in mind that Yin&Yang also represents male and female.
Batman & Robin! LOL

Naming your pet is fun. What I do is just that. I brains storm up several possibilities, and then see which on FITS the pet...
