So this poor little piggie never got a name and she's 1/2 way through her life!! - I go out in the morning and say hi to her pasture mate who's name is picnic (and let me tell you it suits her!) and then calling this one "pig 1" but she's so dang cute she really needs a cute name - she's VERY friendly always the first to push in for some affection... so I'm putting it out there - enter your pig names in the comments and I will be drawing a name out of a hat (so make it good) and the winner gets a Big Table Farm t-shirt this contest will end on Christmas day 2009! - so give it some thought!!
(if you don't like pig naming you can also buy a t-shirt for $10 cow is on the back and the logo is on the front pocket area - white and tan - sorry no mediums left only L and XL)
I've been a long time lurker and today when we (my bf is looking over my shoulder) saw the piggy without a name show up in my Google Reader, he matter of factly said, "Emma" and so I am going to comment with his suggestion...I do happen to think it fits...as well as say I love your blog-thanks!
ReplyDeletehi jana so fun to meet a new blogger - great name emma : ) very nice... in to the hat !! cheers! - Clare
ReplyDeleteMy vote is for Sprocket!
ReplyDeletexoxo Rach
Since she's so sweet her name should be Spreckles (like the sugar). Plus she kinda has freckles and speckles. Speckles is cute too.
ReplyDeletehow about "blanket"? goes with picnic. and she does kinda look like a really cute blanket. xoxo
ReplyDeleteoh man she's gonna get a good name no matter what : )
ReplyDeleteShe looks like a Chloe to me... very feminine yet a gal that knows her way around town.
ReplyDeleteIma.
ReplyDeleteDoris
ReplyDeleteBratwurst. Or Sandwich. Both go perfectly with a Picnic!

Kate M - How about "Please don't eat me"?
Shay M - How about "Little Munchkin"?
Nicole E - How about Olivia? or Freckles? I also like Charlotte the pig. Please don't pick out of a hat...poor little girl is too cute for that. Pick a name that you think suits her. What a cute piggy!
Roxanne is one of my favorite names.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Clare!
How about Wiggles.

ReplyDeleteJohnathan S -Sir Francis.... (don't mention Bacon)
James M - Peter O'Donnel
Windsor M - Delicious
Karen G - Hulda Or Lulu
Zachary W - "Moo-Shu"
If it was a boy I'd say Andre. 'Cause then it's just a quick jump to Entree.
I think she looks like a Matilda. She seems very sweet:)
ReplyDeleteI think she looks like a "Matilda" or Mattie for short. Although I have to say it's easier choosing names if you have met the animal, so not sure if her personality really fits that or not. Just a guess :)
ReplyDeleteShe says 'Ophelia' to me.

Ok --- I have some good pair names but it means giving picnic a middle name:
ReplyDeleteDolce and Gabanna ...
Holly and Ivy...
Cutie and Pie...
Pickle and Puddin'
Or How's bout just "DAISY"
Everybody loves Daisy.

Her name is Nuts.
ReplyDeleteIt is intended as thorough endearment and a compliment - a reference to her mast-crop heritage, her favorite food, her lovely nutty complexion and to the work she does, the service she provides.
If it is too bland for some mornings, then expand it at will:
Nutty. Nutkins. Nut-a-bye. Nut-nut. Beech-nut. etc.
When you say her name, it will remind you how much you two have in common, and that will make you smile again.
I love you!
Tim says Thelma Louise.
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought "Philly-Cal"; but calling "AaaahFreeCa" (Africa) as you walk towards her pen somehow sits better on my tongue.. She's ADORABLE Clare & Brian!!!! xoxo Bee p.s. hope I win a shirt!
ReplyDeleteWill Engelman's vote is "Pancake" xox Will & Mom
ReplyDeletehey, I just figured out, can I have more than one entry? If you're really drawing from a hat, the more the better, right? This feels like eBay bidding suddenly...if we get more than one, then...here goes...Adah, Bedelia, Clover, Dahlia, Eustacia (meaning "good grapes"), Francine, Gypsy, Hattie, Inkspot, Juniper, Kisses, Lunchbox, Munchkin, Natty, Olive, Patapan, Quincey, Rascal, Salvia, Tuck, Uma, Velvet, Wilma, Xenia, Yazmin OR...Zia.
ReplyDeletewell that does increase your odds quite a bit... and makes me fill out 20 more little pieces of paper on Christmas day for the name hat : )
ReplyDeletewhat are you doing up any way it's like 2:30 am!!
ReplyDeletesue-ella for piggyness
ReplyDeletelove from Eliza and Sally
OK! IT'S CHRISTMAS!! DO I GET A T SHIRT, EH EH??
