Hi all!
I joined a few months back, posted a few times, commented a few times and then promptly fell off the face of the Earth :guilty:. Well, I'm back (and I also installed Tapatalk on my phone for easy viewing, which should make my visiting a lot more frequent). I'm also embarrassed to say, that during this whole time my poor little piggy guys have not had consistent names :weepy: Which leads me to the reason for THIS posting; I need naming help. The only names I've "settled" on are Frik and Frak but it really just doesn't sit well with me, doesn't fit them right I guess. I have a few ideas popping around in my head and thought I'd run it by y'all and then maybe y'all could even suggest a few too?
Just a bit about the two for possibly help. Both are males and about a year old. The first one is two-toned brown with white. The white band you see on his shoulders, goes all the way across. Also, what I find unique about him (but that may not be all that unique as far as Piggies are concerned.....I'm a first time Piggy owner) is that on his face, the left side is light brown and the right is dark brown; then his shoulders, it's opposite, dark brown on left and light brown on right and then on his rear-end the colors match his head with the light brown on left and dark brown on right. He's the calmer of the two, not as easily scared and also more adventurous.
The 2nd pic shows his slightly larger brother. More vocal than his "little" brother but more skittish, darts into his pigloo at the slightest thing. His coloring isn't quite as unusual but I still find pretty. It's almost a mottled color in different light and the white band goes clear across just like his brother.
I'm weird, but I don't want cutesy, girly-like names for boys but I don't want just plain names either. Not too big of a fan of using human names, but not entirely opposed in case that's where their names are hiding. I need names easy for my 3 year old daughter to pronounce and remember and they don't necessarily have to "go-together" either (like my choices below).
Anyway, here are my ideas so far:
Ben & Jerry
Tom & Jerry
Piggly & Wiggly (friend suggested)
Weeek & Woot (friends suggested, for the sounds they make she said LOL)
Pete & Repete (friend suggested)
And NONE of those scream at me "That's it! THAT'S their name!". I feel so horrible, we've had them for a bit now but I'm just can't come up with names that "call to me", that suit them. I've NEVER had this much trouble naming a critter before. :weepy:
Hope y'all can help these poor, nameless (kinda) guys out. Imagine the horror of not having a name, the injustice of it all. Redeem them! Help them! LOL Thanks!

I don't really have name suggestions for you, since it took me weeks to name my own pigs. However, once I finally did name them, I named them Albus and Grindelwald because I am a huge Harry Potter geek. So, maybe you can think of a movie or show that you really enjoy and pick a couple of names from there.
