The second is Portia, after the character in the Shakespeare play, and the third is Claudia because she's cloud-gray. In retrospect, I've named them all after Romans who committed suicide, and I'm not sure what that says about me, never mind the pigs. :-\

Olver is a kid that kinda follows Mat around, and since he's currently a tiny baby, and Mat is huge, it worked! I hate that they have to wait 2 weeks to meet each other though!

I just sat down to write down names and Josa and Jula sounded best. Since Josa was a Texel, I thought that Josa was a good name for her. Jula had smooth hair, so I thought that Jula would fit well. Jaap sounded nice and short and I just loved the name Jenna. She really has a mind of her own. Jasper the rabbit is very cuddly and a lop-eared dwarf. I had the name Joris at first, but my husband thought that Jasper was a better name for our little furry friend. It is funny how their names suit them now. At least, that is what I think. I still have a list of names that I like for future guinea pigs and rabbits. All with a J. Mirjam

He has a jigsaw type black and brown jiggsaw puzzle type peice on his but, and he has one side of his face a brown patch with a black stripe on the other side. A person on the cavy cages forum reconmended nameing him lord bistri because of the stripe. I didn't want to just forget about his oringal name so I just made one realy big name and a little nick name. He gets up and starts popcorning when I call his nick name for dinner or a replacement of hay and pellets. It's realy cute. Asria

And she is dark brown with a light brown spot. Oreo is white and brown. I saw that someone had named one of theirs Cow....which mad me giggle because that is what my 3 yo dd wanted to name one. She wanted to name the other Laundry. I don't know why.

It was the first thing that popped into my head - so I stuck with it. :P I was going to originally get a female, and name her after a goddess', but I went with a boy instead. I was considering naming my boy Gabriel - but changed my mind. If I had gotten a girl, I would have named her either Gabrielle or a goddess from greek mythology.

He looked like a snickers bar

Cadra74	Milo, Paisley, Taffy, Bijou & Monet	#30	[url]	[-]

He got his name as I desperately searched for one and my eyes landed on a "Hi/Low" accompaniment tape I had on my desk. My mind immediately thought of "Milo" and it stuck. He died Memorial Day 2000. Paisley & Taffy came as Christmas gifts from my parents in 2000. They were named after their colors. Paisley was a tricolor coronet (aka many colors), and Taffy was a non-self American, tan and white (matching my very sweet tooth). Only after a coworker's child pointed it out to me did I realize that they were the same colors as my cats: a calico and an orange tabby! Paisley died in 2004 and Taffy in 2006. Bijou & Monet were adopted on Friday! They were 'Speedy' and 'Spunky' at the shelter, but after adoption, it took me all weekend of trolling through naming websites to come up with their names. I'm French & Italian, so I was looking at similar names. Bijou means "gem" in French, and his black fur is so sleek and gleems like a gem. Monet is... I'm not sure what, but his fur behaves like an Abyssinian but with a tuft of fur sticking strait up off his tail bone, making me think of a brush. Combined with his coloring... and well, Monet just seemed much better than Guido!

Then there's my male Rikku, my female Mio, and my female Selphie. After my ex broke up with me and I moved back to Indiana I got another pig and decided to break the cycle and named her Absynthe. I kept telling my grandma that she reminded me of an obsidian guinea pig...and it sounded awkward in my head but I kept saying it and then I called her an absynth guinea pig...and knew that wasn't right either...so her name became Absynthe. They all have little nicknames though. Mio is baby girl and she looks like a cow so sometimes other people call her cow, Selphies my little monkey, and Absynthe is little one. Rikku doesn't really have a nickname but when I imitate what I think he's saying by his attitude it tends to be in a spanish accent. Sadly though, Rikku's no longer mine.

That is hilarious because my fiance and I just recently adopted two piggies (about a week apart). The first one he wanted to name and guess what- he named the piggy Rosco (well that's how he wanted to spell it) as in Rosco Coaltrain... as soon as I read this I laughed :) but the second piggy has yet to be named.

Betty = because I have an aunty Betty who's nickname is Bunny...enough said. The fluffball in the middle. And Billy (on the right) because she looks a bit like a Bilby with long flowing hair, minus the long nose......google it, if you don't know what a Bilby looks like. She is a sheltie and also resembles a porcupine when I fluff her hair up......but i didn't think Porky was an adequate name for such a lovely little lady. When I was young we had a boy piggie and a girl piggie called Bonnie (who was the spitting image of Betty) and Clyde......and they had 2 babies, Pip and Squeak.

They are so small and cute that they seemed to need big scary names. Big, city-destroying monster names seemed to fit! I rarely keep the names of my adopted animals. My girls didn't respond at all to their previous names anyway.

So from then on I called "her" Gimmie. But it turns out he was a boy all along. But Gimmie is how it has stayed.

I ended up calling him Fatty/Fat Boy most of the time anyways. He passed May 1, 2006. I have another girl who I named Annie because when I was driving home with her one of my favourite singers was on the radio, Annie Lennox. Then I got Wayne. Wayne is a girl. I can tell she's a cross breed, she's got texel and something else in her. When I got her she had a sort of psuedo mullet. Her head and shoulders were all short hair, about the middle of back and down to her bum was all loooooooong curly hair. So it was business up front, party in the back! And my friend had just gotten a pig too and named his Garth. AND my most favourite movie of all time is Wayne's World so it was fate. Eventhough she's a girl.
