Current:
Kurama, Kiba, InuYasha, and Kagome are named after anime characters.
Bastian Noel took his name from "The Neverending Story" because I thought it sounded kool and Noel was added because he joined my home just before Christmas.
Procyan is named after one of the two dog stars (the other being Sirius, which I may use in the future). He was named in honour of his father, InuYasha, whose name loosely translated means "dog demon".
Katura was the name of a girl who worked at our local McDonald's and I loved the way it sounded.
Kyomi was named for one of my favorite stories as a young child. The book was called "Kiyomi" and it was about a beautiful and very vain deer and a beautiful and very vain lizard meeting each other. Kiyomi was the deer.
Keoki was named for her Great Aunt Keo who was also a pink eyed white.
Little Soli was named after her grandfather, Solomon, who died just before she was born.
Jordan my nephew and I named together because she was the third pup from our first litter (he named Sellabell and I named Keo then we agreed on Jordan at his suggestion). She was intended to be sort of a nomadic pig she was going to spend a week with me and a week with him, but that never happened. She ended up staying in my room the whole time and after her sister died I knew why things had happened that way.
Mordecai's name was pulled from the Bible. He was named for his mother, Little Soli, who was named for her grandfather, Solomon.
Frosty was my nephew's first pig. She went through a list of nonsense word names and her young owner went through several threats on the way home with her before he decided on the first real name of Frosty. She was gotten just before Christmas and was named after Rankin/Bass's Frosty the Snowman. My nephew had been watching those claymations constantly for the last few weeks.
Sellabell was my nephew's second pig. His name is one of my nephew's famous nonsense words, but one that didn't just involve various mouth sounds.
Kimono is my nephew's 3rd pig and he named her after a My Little Pony that I have a sticker of on my computer monitor.
Rehomed:
Kume is how my nephew said Kagome when we first got her and I thought it was cute.
Keoni was named for her mother and one of her name's meanings is "Keo's Second" and she was Keo's second child.
Anyabelle, well there was no reason for that, I just liked it.
Lizzie was named for the TV show "Lizzie McGuire" because it's one of my favorites.
Deceased:
Solomon's name is from the Bible and his name is Solomon because that's just what it was. It's the only name that would come to me when I first held him.
Keo was a name I saw somewhere and thought it sounded really neat.
Isabel is named for one of the characters on Roswell, but more because I like the name than anything else.
Leo and Loni were named by my nephew for reasons all his own. They were 2 of our 3 stillborns.
Atreyu was named for his father Bastian Noel. Atreyu was another character from the same movie Bastian took his name from. Atreyu was our 3rd stillborn.
