New Pig--Needs New Name!

[sdpiggylvr]

Today I brought home a new pig! He is a sanctuary pig, meaning that I will be caring for him until he dies unless there's something that comes up with my living situation (which I'm not planning on). For those of you who don't know, I foster and volunteer for a small animal rescue in my area.

The new pig's name at the rescue is "Guido," which I completely hate for some strange reason. lol So I'm looking for name suggestions from you guys of what I can call him instead. It's quite unlikely he'll be adopted as he's pretty old and is now off the "adoptables" list since he's got "sanctuary pig" status. And who knows, perhaps (slash more than perhaps) I will adopt him in the future.

I was thinking of calling him Logan, but what do you guys think? In the pictures he looks white but he's actually a light yellow. He's such the cuddler and quite sweet and mellow.

Here's a list of names I like but don't look like they're making the cut:

• Asher ( <-- to certain people)
• Winston
• Elliott
• Greyson

So -- ideas and suggestions? If you have males, I'd love to hear their names.

Ceasar, Jett, Logan!

How about Mellow? (short for Mellow Yellow) If he's a bit round you could call him Butterball, Butter for short. Or Tribble, or Womble. I think those are cute boy names.

My boys are called Badger and Tufty.

Just realized I forgot to put up the pics! Silly me.







:sorry: Forgive me.

Oh my! What a darling! I think he is a Mellow.

My male piggys name is Darwin.

He definitely doesn't look like a "Guido" to me either. He has the sweetest face. I like the "Mellow" suggestion.

Our two males are named Pickles and Gizmo. It always takes me a while to decide on a new pet's name. My 2 year old named Pickles.

Oh, what a cute little piggy! I really like the name Elliot. What about Landon?

Winfield, Grant, Colonel Sanders, Alfredo, Kenny, Tofu. My male's name is Rigatoni Al Dente and he's white like your guy is but mine is a rough haired American.

Or Lennie, possibly? Vincent, Eric, Corey, Bartlebee, Pongo?

I was trying to think of good looking white haired or gray haired men and the first person that came to mind was Bill Clinton...... or how about George Clooney, Anderson Cooper or just Cooper or Clooney? or Steven Martin? Or how about Barry White? ha ha

Cooper and Landon! I like those. All of your suggestions are great, everyone. Thanks for the overwhelming amount of suggestions--it's really helpful!

Cute piggie! I'd either name him Near,Haru or Paris.

Can't wait to see what you choose!

My boys name is Axel. He's the one in my avatar.

Vinny? I don't know.

 

[fresian.m]

I vote for mellow! He's soo adorable! I think I'm in love... really! He's so cute...

 

[GPigsRSweet]

I don't know why but I like Elf. And Todd. He's a sweetheart.
