Find a name for a pet pig, mini pig, show pig or farm sow: cute food names like Truffles and Peanut, pun names like Hamlet and Chris P. Bacon, famous pigs from Wilbur to Peppa, old-fashioned farmyard names and breed-inspired picks for Kunekunes, Berkshires and pot-bellies.

About pig names

Pig names fall into a few families, and most owners borrow from more than one. Food is the biggest: Truffles, Peanut, Biscuit, Pickles, Pumpkin and Waffles are rescue and mini-pig favourites, partly because pigs are ruled by their stomachs and partly because round, soft-sounding words suit a round, soft animal. Pork puns are the second family and the one visitors expect: Hamlet, Hamish, Chris P. Bacon, Notorious P.I.G., Sir Francis Bacon and Pigcasso are well worn but still get a laugh, and they work best on a confident pig with a big personality.

Famous pigs supply a third set, from Wilbur, Babe and Porky to Peppa, Pumbaa and Olivia, while old farmyard names like Bertha, Gertie, Wilfred and Clyde suit a sow or boar with some heft. Breed and colour can steer you too: a red Duroc or Tamworth takes Rusty, Ginger or Maple, a spotted Gloucester Old Spot or Juliana becomes Freckles or Domino, a Kunekune with a hairy coat earns Woolly Bear or Fuzzball, and a black Berkshire with white points suits Tuxedo or Socks.

Pigs are sociable and often kept in pairs, so the list includes names that go together (Bubble and Squeak, Toast and Jam, Peaches and Cream). It also has farmyard words (Haybale), pig words from other languages (Cochon, Ferkel) and legendary boars (Gullinbursti).

How to choose pig names

  • Pigs learn their names quickly, so pick something with two clear syllables and a hard consonant (Pickles, Wilbur, Gertie) that carries across a paddock; one-syllable names like Bean work indoors but get lost outside.
  • If you have a pair, choose names that belong together but start with different sounds, such as Bubble and Squeak or Toast and Jam, so each pig learns to come to its own.
  • Match colour and coat: reds and gingers (Duroc, Tamworth) suit Rusty, Cinnamon or Maple; black pigs with white points (Berkshire, Hampshire) suit Tuxedo, Domino or Boots; hairy Kunekunes and Mangalitsas suit Woolly Bear or Fuzzball.
  • Weigh up the pun before you commit: Chris P. Bacon is funny at the vet, but a pig that lives with you for 15 to 20 years may deserve a name you are happy saying every day, so keep the pun as a middle name.
  • For a show pig, use a long registered-style name for the card (Duchess of Pork, Lord Snout) and a short barn name (Dutch, Snouty) you can actually call in the ring.

Frequently asked questions

What are the most popular pig names?

Food names lead: Peanut, Truffles, Biscuit, Pickles, Pumpkin, Waffles and Oreo turn up constantly among pet and mini pigs. Famous pigs are next, with Wilbur, Babe, Hamlet and Peppa, followed by puns like Chris P. Bacon and Notorious P.I.G. and old-fashioned farm names like Bertha, Gertie and Petunia.

What should I name a mini pig or pot-bellied pig?

Small, cute-sounding names suit a house pig: Teacup, Pip, Button, Mochi, Dumpling, Thimble, Peewee or Muffin. Remember that most 'mini' pigs still grow to 60 to 150 pounds, so a name that works on a big adult (Petunia, Otis, Rosie) ages better than one that only fits a piglet.

What are good names for a boy pig and a girl pig?

Boars and barrows often get sturdy names like Wilbur, Otis, Hamish, Boris, Brutus, Winston, Clyde or Hamlet. Sows and gilts lean toward Petunia, Rosie, Olivia, Daisy, Gertie, Pearl, Mabel or Clementine. Food and colour names like Truffles, Ginger and Pepper work for either.

Can I name a pig after its breed?

Yes, and breed names double as good pig names: Berkshire, Hampshire, Tamworth, Duroc, Kunekune, Mangalitsa, Chester and Juliana all sound like proper names. Spotted and belted breeds also suggest pattern names such as Freckles, Domino, Patches or Tuxedo.
