Pig name suggestions please. I'm running out of ideas. Long OP. If you aren't up for a big read, this isn't for you.

I need girl names.

I've got 4 sows and a boar at the moment.

First of all, there is HRH Hamilla Porker-Bowles, her daughters Hogzilla,
Pjörk, Porkahontas, Amy Swinehouse, Patsy Swine, and her sons Voldesnort, Piggy Smalls and The Notorious P.I.G.

Hamilla is SO ready for a break! She's a grumpy bugger at the best of times but she's absolutely had enough right now! Her babies are two months old now and giving her absolute hell. We are about to start giving her some time off by putting them in the big nursery pen every day.

Second to deliver was the Baroness Von Schwienbacon. She had 5 girls - Denise Van Snouten, Sarah Jessica Porker, Emiline Pankwurst, Hamelia Earhart and Spam Aires and 5 boys - Ham Solo, Pigcasso, Luke Stywalker, Salvador Deli and Steven Squealburg.

The Baroness is an absolute sweetheart. She's so loving and gentle but stubborn too. When we bought her, she refused point blank to load so she stayed behind and they went back the next day to plead with her to please load :D She loves belly rubs and heaven help you if you walk past without dispensing some.

Next to deliver is going to be Lady Saddleback of Melton Mowbury, she's due in a few weeks. She used to share a pen with the Baroness but they had to be separated just before B gave birth. They can still see each other but she's not happy.

Then in October The Countess of Gruntington will be having hers. She's new and still getting used to the place.

We also have a boar called Piggalo, The Duke Of Slurry. He's so funny. He buries himself all the time and whenever he hears someone, he jumps out and yells his head off until they stop what they are doing and give him fuss and scratches.

With the exception of Hamilla, who's a bitey bugger, the rest are so sweet natured and very protective of the little ones. We damn near had a mutiny when it came time to clip the piglets teeth. They started yelling their heads off and all the big ones (except Hamilla who didn't give a shit) started trying to scramble out of their pens to come kick the crap out of the person doing the clipping.

The vet prescribed large amounts of ear scritches until all was forgiven :D

I have an abundance of male names ready (thank you google!) but am struggling for girls names.

I've got Penelope Pigstop, Spamala Anderson and Hamantha Jones

I'd say it's better to name them than not. I wouldn't want to raise pigs for meat personally I'd find it too difficult, but not everyone sees things from the same angle and that's ok. These piggies are obviously well cared for, and having decided to name them, they might as well have great names!

Edited

Thank you. I couldn't not name them. They have a good life with good food, cosy pens with deep straw, toys and food treats, a nice outdoor space, they have friends and get to live their best pig lives and they should have names.

My husband said to me do NOT name them. He said I'll get too attached and it'll be much harder.

My uncle had pigs on his farm. Whenever one was sent to slaughter he cried. We'd go to visit and ask where's uncle? Auntie would nod towards their bedroom and say he took a pig in.

It's probably easier if you don't get to know them, if you just give them codes or numbers, but it's not right for me.
