So my six year old daughter thinks you should name her Snouts. My daughter has her very own stuffed pink pig, and her name is snouts! She thinks it would be very special if someone were to name a real pig Snouts. Mommy said she couldn't have a real pig, because we don't live on a farm! Snouts is Emma's little love and best animal friend. When she grows up she wants to be a farmer with her Aunt May May (my sister's dream is to own a farm!) Emma says you can call her Snoutsie, to make it cutsie! Haha, hope the naming goes well!

I can think of no better name for a strong gal who loves her Momma but Ruth, from the Book of Ruth.

I grew up on a hog farm, and somehow never developed a great love for the pigs. I'm sorry we don't see eye-to-eye on pigs, but I do have to admit the baby is kind of cute. :) Our pigs were always rooting their way out of the pen, and it was my job to help my dad round them up and TRY to get them back in.

My name for your baby girl is "Here Comes Trouble", with Trouble for short.

All the best to you! I'm glad your farm is doing well, and God has been blessing you.

I think you should name her Elizabeth Bennett. As in Jane Austen's novel, Pride and Prejudice, her character Elizabeth Bennett proves her worth with a sharp tongue, eloquent words, and a fiery attitude, yet possesses a great sense of love and loyalty to her family. This, I think makes it the perfect name for a fiery little piglet on a family farm. :)

I think you should name her Penelope - there's a movie of that title featuring a girl with the face of a pig (due to a curse). So it reminds me of pigs. But it is also a beautiful, strong name, and perfect for this little lady.

As soon as I saw her, the name Petunia popped into my head. Petunia can be describing a sweet gal or...like your girl there...a bit of a spit-fire. :) I just think it's *right* for her!

Katniss! Have you seen the Hunger Games? She's a spitfire, but sweet too. :) or even Lucy Liu! Because she just kicks butt in all her movies and yet is so sweet looking! Plus those are just pretty names. :)

I think you should name her "Snickerdoodle". Snickerdoodles are delicious, sassy cookies that are rolled in cinnamon and sugar...the colors of your cutie!

Her name should be Sassy! You said she is a spit fire and full of attitude, but I believe that every sassy little girl/pig has a soft side to her:)

I think her name should be Marshmallow! Her coloration looks just like a toasted marshmallow- all nice and brown on one side and still creamy white on the the other!

She is the cutess little pig!! You are very lucky to have her. The first name that came to mind was Peggy Sue. The Buddy Holly song about Peggy Sue came to mind. I can see a little girl singing I love you Peggy Sue Oh my Peggy, Peggy Sue.
