What names did you give your animals?

I love seeing the different names of animals in the wild! I started wondering though... if you have animals at your home, what did you name them? I have two pigs named Eggs and Bacon, and two butterflies named Milk and Cookies. :)

  • I have two chicken names that I use a lot:  Emily Chickenson and Tastes Like Me.

    But I usually only use them on public poultry...don't keep chickens in my home.

  • My pigs are Piggley and Wiggley. I was going to name my next pig Bacon :D but "Tastes Like Me" is sounding pretty good right now.

    I love the creative names too !  I think we have been inspired by the wonderful street names in Ur.

    But yesterday I was on a street with lots of butterflies and they all had the same name.  It was soooooo confusing, I just had to leave.

  • My partner went for a Star Wars theme and one of her piggies had me in stitches for ages: 
    Ham Solo

  • Is another one Chew Bacon?

    My favourite personal piggy is named Lord Bacon o.  Since there is no hyphen in his name there is absolutely no connection to any well-known Glitch.

  • I haven't got AK5 yet, which doesn't stop me enjoying the names other people have chosen. Found myself squeezing a chicken named Penis Chicken earlier today, and guffawed out loud.  Both at the foolishness of it, and the fleeting suspicion that someone may have decided to rename it, after finding it to have some variation of the name Cock.

  • I'm pigpogm, and I name piggies PigPogPig.  Occasionally, I name them 'By Some Idiot', so they are announced as 'A Piggy Named By Some Idiot', which I find funny.  It might not be.

    When we got back in the game last time, I named a few 'Language', in a nod to a recent thread in the forums.  I didn't do many, though, as I started to think it might just annoy people more, rather than just being funny.

  • I names mine after Star Trek characters. The chickens were all captains. The butterflies were all pilots. The pigs were a variety.

  • My RL wife names her pigs after the pigs on the old BBC show The Good Life (Good Neighbors in the US), Pinky and Perky.

    I named mine after the hosts of Top Gear. Chickens are Dr. Who companions. Butterflies are Dr. Who villians.

  • My piggies are all named after male celebrities. 
    George Clooney and Hugh Jackman are my favourite ones :) 
    Then I had one on my balcony and I named him Suicidal Balcony Pig, but he died and turned into a pile of meat... which was kind of appropriate I guess o_o  I'll remake him now I've got Remote Herdskeeping, this way he shouldn't die so easily. 

    My chicken's called Annoying Flappy Thing
    and my butterflies are unnamed, as they're likely to die off soon, and I only needed them for a quest (to fill the milker).

  • Todays newest pig is Hamlet.  Not original, I know, but still cute.

  • I started out using just piggies to recreate the Labyrinth quote:
    You remind me of the babe
    What babe?
    The babe with the power
    What power?
    The power of voodoo
    Who do?
    You do
    Do what?
    Remind me of the babe

    but then I ran out of piggies. and the babe line is funnier on pigs. but then I realized I could put all the lines that don't have the word "babe" in them on non-pigs. But then I realized I still only had 3 pigs and there are 4 lines with "babe" in them. So yeah, I need another pig is what I'm saying.

    Also I named a random pig in the street "Roast Beef" as in "This little piggy had roast beef".

  • Before the reset I ha 5 piggies named after internet friends whose names I'd shortened down to the first three letters. 5 chickens named after old school friends, again with the names shortened down to the first three letters. And 6 butterflies named after friends I made in an online community, three letters again.

    As for wild piggies, I named them Biggles, Giggles, Wiggles, Ziggles, Diggles, Piggles, Yiggles etc etc. Basically iggles with each letter of the alphabet before it :P

  • My three favorite pig names:
    "Ce n'est pas un cochon." - my dada homage
    and "Red Six" - my Star Wars homage

    and chicken? "Chicky Chicky Parm Parm" (Parks & Rec)

  • during beta, at my first house, all my piggies were named after The Wire detectives and my butterflies were The Wire drug dealers. It made me laugh having butterflies named Stringer Bell and Slim Charles.

    my chickens were named after people who'd done wonderful things: lech welesa, maria callas, etc.

    my current chicken is Doctor Bawk. lacks some dignity. ;)

  • Someone named a pig Palin and I laughed hard when I found it.  I followed suit by naming one Gingrich.

  • i have a major stoot crush. so, my pigs are named as follows:
    stoot me, while i kiss the sky - (a play on the jimmie hendrix song and almost requires air guitar when you say it.)
    stoot, i am your father - (gotta have a star wars reference in there somewhere)
    you can't handle the stoot! - ( a nod to jack nicholson movie "a few good men")
    the cake is a stoot - (for portal fans everywhere)
    and my chicken is named, " chicken noodle stoot '' (soup, get it?) just cause it makes me giggle.

  • I don't name any of them as it interferes with the click click click routine of petting and nibbling
    Posted 15 months ago by mungo Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Some of the names are original and funny.
    I don't like it when someone just gives all the animals on a street their username.
    Be creative!

  • My pigs are Marcia, Jan and Cindy.  Butterflies are Greg, Peter and Bobby.  Chickens are of course Mike and Carol.  I'm not sure how I'm going to work in Alice, things are pretty crowded in the yard right now.

  • I inherited two pigs named Fred and Ethel when I changed houses, so of course when I hatched a third pig I had to name it Lucy. I named the chicken Ricky. I don't like chickens and I don't care for Desi Arnaz much either.

  • By the by, I only name critters out on the street if they don't already have names. I name pigs Jones, and I name butterflies Isadora, both for really obscure reasons. I don't name chickens. I don't like chickens.

  • My first two piggies were named Mama Cass and Ham Sammich.  How I miss them so.  Whoever moved into 2316 Tallish Crest Quarter must have gotten rid of them because I don't see piggies listed on that property anymore :(

  • I named my piggies Napoleon and Snowball.
    My first chicken is named Curry, after my real life chicken. They even look the same, except the real Curry would never complain about being hugged, nor would she share her grain with me.
    My second chicken is named Surly, since she was given to me as a housewarming gift by my new friend Surley.
    My butterflies are all named after famous sciency men except for Fred, but I feel uncomfortable milking boy butterflies so I might consider new names for them.

  • @Rhodan I have Old Major, Minimus, and Squealer as well as Snowball and Napoleon!  I also have a piggy named Wilbur, a chicken named Templeton (no rats available) and a butterfly named Charlotte.

    On the block we have a chicken named William Shakespeare, so I promptly named the butterflies Hamlet and Macbeth.  Now Shakespeare has been renamed Poor Yorick.  :-)  I clearly need to hatch Rosencrantz and Guildenstern!
