Help me name my piggy

Hi all.. currently figuring out how to add a photo to my post. This sweet girl is currently in quarantine awaiting moving in with Storm, my other piggy. Storm has recently lost her cage mate after a battle with illness. Her cage mate was my first and was a rescue. I done everything I could for her but sadly, she didn't make it. Its still very raw but of course, piggys should not be alone.

Really struggling to name this little one.. any suggestions? Smile

Okay so I downloaded the app and i still can't upload a picture. Happy to send anyone a pic through messages. She is white with grey ears and very VERY fluffy, like a cloud.

It took me far too long to realise you weren't talking about an actual pig Blush

Nimbus? Goes with Storm plus cloud-related, and Nim is a cute nickname!

Other random thoughts:

Zelda
Stella
Bea
Pearl

I would call her cloud, matches her friends and her description.

Cloud or Rain

It took you to point it out for me to realise Blush

Ahhh hello mew piggy Grin

Cloud is lovely or Floss (short for CandyFloss?)

It's bittersweet getting a new guinea-pig if it's to match a breaved one .
I always felt disloyal to my departed piggie but there's a new little one who needs you and they get right inder your skin...till it's like they've always been there !

I really tried for cloud by DP wasn't in agreement. We decided on Pippa in the end.

It's tough isn't it. I feel disloyal also.. my Nala was a rescue and my first ever piggie. It was a tough ride for her and I feel like the syringe feeding and high level of care formed a strong bond in a short space of time.
I'm comforted knowing I done all I could for her and its not fair for Storm to be alone.

Pippa is currently still in quarantine, incase Nala had anything contagious (although unlikely). I was thinking 2 weeks. She very wary of me understandably but in time I'm sure she will come around given time and love.
