Pig of the Month

One needs hobbies to keep busy during vacation, so with summer vacation looming i've decided to get back to work on my pig of the month collection. If you hav'nt had the pleasure of hearing about or seeing the collection, let me explain. A common craft in Costa Rica are ceramic piggy banks. They sell them all over the place, and for the most part, they're unpainted. So, back during the last vacation I bought a container of acrylic paint and decided to make a proverbial pig of the month club. Every pig would be painted differently, and hopefully all with puny names. What i'm looking for now are good pig inspirations. Please keep in mind, it would be better if the name was not only clever but conveyed an idea that was easy to paint. I've been holding off on painting "Pigzilla" for a while now because I think it would be a bit of a challenge, given i'd have to make something that is extremely pig shaped into a giant sea monster without it looking like a pig in a dyed alligator skin suit. Below are possible names, please add any you think of
