How to Choose a Name For Your Pig
Brainstorm names based on your pig’s appearance. Pigs can have many different colorings, from brown to pink, spotted, and beyond. Thus, you might find a great name for your pig based on their coloring—like “Peaches” for a pink-skinned pig, or “Fudgie” for a brown one. You can also look at your pig’s size; you might name a small pig “Munchkin,” or a big one “Hogzilla.” Take a good look at the pig and keep an open mind; any special or notable physical features can be a source of inspiration when you’re brainstorming names!
Study your pig’s behavior to find a name that suits them. Anyone who has pigs knows each one absolutely has their own unique personality! And that personality can be another source of inspiration when thinking up a name. Consider your pig’s attitude, favorite games and toys, and the way they act overall. Is there a name that might capture your pig’s energy and behavior? For example, name a super vocal pig “Squeaks” or “Snuffles.” If your pig is a little sassy and entitled, name them “Prince” or “Princess.”
Name your pig after their appetite or favorite food. Is your pig always hungry? Is there a special treat they absolutely love to chow down on? Base your pig’s name on either of those things! Alternatively, if there’s a treat you really love (like “Popcorn” or “Tater tot”), name your pig after that instead.
