As some of you may know, I'm looking for a female/sow guinea pig!
JESSLOU saw my thread with the situation (getting my male neutured soon) and has contacted me basically saying she has a little girlie i can have! I'm not sure if she has a name yet (i don't think she has, she hasn't mentioned it) but i can't seem to think of any names just incase! I'm trying not to get excited, and if for some reason this doesn't come through, other people can look at this and name a new piggie/un-named one.

Has anyone any suggestions, male or female (for the others looking for name suggestions for themselves)

i liked Bella for a girl, i'm not sure though because i like really unusual names. rolleyes

I think its best to get a piggy first before naming or to go on what they look like. Here are mine:-

Boars
Sunshine - Colour of the sun
Twinkle - Pointy Aby/Peruvian starlike rosettes!
Cuzzy - Blonde daughter couldn't say custard but said cuzzy!
Eccles - Named after Christopher Eccleston (9th Doctor Who)
Pudsey - Blonde named after Pudsey Bear as we got him on CIN night
Radley - Named after the Handbags, Kelly on here named him!
Milo - Put to a poll on here!
Jasper - Was already named at rescue.

Sows
Flora - Floral named
Fleur - Flora's sister named after Fleur in Harry Potter and becaue she has some orange in her like a Flare.
Amber - Brown Gem Stone
Pearl - White Gem Stone
Elora - Little girl in Willow
Leia - Princess Leia Star Wars
Lyra - Little girl in the Golden Compass.

So if something takes your fancy, or she reminds you of something go for that. :)

I already have one pig called Flash. I don't have a theme though! :red


good names everyone! Both my middle names are in the flower list that stargrrlclaire wrote :P

So far i really like Lilly, Scarlet, Poppy, Lottie and Fleur! :)

I have a french obsession at the moment, with the language and place, so if anyone has any suggestions for that! :P
 
MrsM might be able to help you if you're looking for a french name... maybe drop her a line? I never name a pet until I get them, simply because sometimes the name I chose doesn't suit the animals personality or appearance.
 
Amber was almost Sandy (from Spongebob to go with Pearl) but she didn't suit it!

I want a dog called Hamish though, still working on that. :D
 
Heya,

If you're not aware I am French, hence the mention...
I named my first two piggies with old-fashioned French names (not to upset anyone in the family), 2 boys called Rene (after 'allo, 'allo) and Bertie, which can also be for girls (Renee Zelwegger off Bridget Jones' Diary, for exmple).

Why not the name of a place? Lourdes (Madonna's first daughter, for example), or Paris, come to mind. If you like Lily, there's Lille or the favourite place of all Englishmen: Brest (in Brittany - another name...) only joking!

I agree with most who suggested that seeing the piggy will give you an idea of what you want to call them. For example, a cream pig may be called Caramel or a lilac Violette, or a white one (like Snowflake) Blanche or Chamonix (don't pronounce X) after the sky resort.

I think the best idea is for you to post a picture as soon as you get your girlie and we'll ahve a better chance of naming her aptly.

Good luck!x>>
