Names for "Pig" in other languages for a girl?

[copperjar]

Are there any affectionate or classy names for a girl which mean 'Pig' that people can think of?

I have a thread here which is my boy's name thread, so it might be nice to stick with my muppet theme. Miss Piggy could always just be a nickname.

I'm not totally decided on this for a girl's name, but I think it's worth investigating. Miss Piggy did not have the same character qualities that I admire in Kermit.

The latin is Porcus, apparently. Which is a bit likme Dorcas, which is getting more popular, so it could work- but would Porcusina be prettier? There must be other languages which might yield some gems though, if anyone has heard of any?

Pancetta?

Trottah? (in 'omage to Del...)

Salami?

i've always liked oinky for a girl.... and swinella is cute (nn ella).

Pancetta is very pretty- great idea. And Salami is a bit like Salome, so that could work. Salome is good actually- that could be a useful nod to the whole idea, thanks!

Espece D'andouille!!

Couchon!!

Oinky? Really?

Swinetta

eh?

Piggy Sue

Malorkus? From the latin Dorkus-Malorkus?

Ah!

These are great- keep em coming! I'm sure we'll strike gold

If you tire of Kermit you could always try Hamilton.

Or Hamlet

Havalina (quite pretty in fact, but please God this is a joke right?)

Well, I'm off to bed now- but thankyou all so much, some great ideas for me to ponder on, cheers

Either you are trolling, or you need your head read! Kermit? A girl called pig? In any language that's pretty awful! Think of the stick the poor little kids will get when they get to school. If you call your kid kermit, people are going to be sniggering behind his back for his entire life!
Yes kermit and miss piggy are lovely. But they are MUPPETS FFS!

I think you need to get a proper name or a proper pig.

Well, as gris is pig in Norwegian, you could go with Griselda...

Hocki

well, pig in Japanese is "buta" (boo-ta)

so she could be "Boota-ful"!

or the word "ton" is used for pig/pork (as in the pork dish, ton-katsu), so I guess "Toni" would work...

piggy

Banza
Mukota
Moura
Kele

are all breeds of domestic pig...

Sow-Ellen
Parma
Svinya (pig in Russian) - or Svinyushka for little pig
Sooee (common call for pigs in fields)
Piglina

It's an interesting concept - but if you have a 3rd DC please don't go for Gonzo.

Portia! Very classy.

Irish for pig is 'muc', pronounced 'muck'. Don't know if that's useful...

Muc is beautiful, but i'm not sure if you could pull it off unless you have some Irish heritage
