How to Select a Name for Your Pet Pig
It’s time to pick a name for your adorable new pet and if you’re feeling stumped, we’ve got some great ideas to generate names for pigs. Grab a piece of paper and gather your family members to do these brainstorming activities.
Brainstorming Names for Pigs
The goal is to generate as many name ideas as possible. Write down anything that comes to mind. Later we’ll eliminate names you don’t like to come up with the best name.
- Go through our lists of suggested pig names and write down the ones you like the best.
- If you’ve met your piggy already, think of names that are reminiscent of their personality. If your big is shy, you may want a quiet name like “Cloud” or “Daisy.” A rambunctious piglet could be “Sparky” or “Zippy.”
- Think of names that remind you of your pig’s appearance. “Chocolate” or “Cinnamon” works for brown pigs. “Pinky” is great for a classic pink pig.
- Nature can be a great source of inspiration for pet names. Flowers like “Rose” or “Sunflower” are great for piggies. Weather can also inspire you: “Rain,” “Snow,” or even “Thunder.”
- Your favorite foods can also be great pig names. “Oreo” and “Corncob” are yummy treats that are cute names.
- Think of character names from your favorite media. Books, movies, tv shows, and comic books are filled with great names that you can use for your pig
Picking the Perfect Name
Read through your list of names. Cross out any names you don’t like until you’re left with your favorites. If you’re the only one picking the pig’s name, continue eliminating names until there’s one left.
If the whole family is picking a name together, have everyone nominate one name from their list. If the family agrees that one name is best, pick that as your pet’s name. If not, hold a vote to pick the best one. If you can’t get everyone to agree on a name, try picking one from a hat or flipping a coin.
Celebrate your new pet pig by treating yourself or your family to some cute and funny pig gifts.
