Adorable!

Congratulations on the new member of the family.
I hope all goes well when she is ready to be introduced to Lucy.
I wish I could give some good name suggestions, but I am not too creative. I like the other suggestions that have been made much more than the ones that popped into my mind... mine aren't very original. :]
Good luck on deciding!

LOL You don't know how many people have told me to name her Ethel. She just doesn't seem very "Ethel"ish to me, sadly. Alice is cute. Hmmmmmm...
I had a name come to me earlier. It has nothing to do with Lucy or even being fluffy...but I think it fits. Maybe. Not sure yet. The name is Flower.
I had just got done telling my older brother that I had a new pig and as I was walking out of his room I was trying to think of names. I said to myself, "She looks like a food name, or a fruit name, or a flower name...Flower!"
That is how I named both Joey and Pikachu...I just randomly started saying names and then that little lightbulb went off.

And then after I thought about it for a minute I remembered that cute scene off of Bambi..."That's not a flower! That's a-" "It's allright. He can call me Flower if he wants too." "Purty! Purty Flower!"

So, unless another name pops out at me, Flower it is. Allthough now that my moment of "brillance" has gone and passed, I'm still trying to decide if that name feels right.

I've let her and Lucy sniff each other through the bars of their cages and they seemed to be interested in one another. Flower (still trying to decide if I like that...) has gotten along with all of the sows she's been caged with before, so I just hope Lucy takes to her.

Decided against the name flower. No surprise there. But thanks to all of your suggestions about the "I Love Lucy" side, I thought of another Lucy...the one from Peanuts. Since pig isn't a boy, I couldn't quite name her Linus, but I did the next best thing...Peppermint Patty.

Pepper for short. And that is official! No more changing. Poor Pepper's going to be all confused.

Pepper is a great name!! I didn't even think about the Lucy from Peanuts.

Well, Welcome to PT Pepper!!

Yet another name change. Little sister's idea and since she is the baby of the family....*sigh* She took one look at the piggy for the first time and said, "You should name her Dot." My mom got a kick out of that as, "there is always a dot at the end of an exclamation mark (her hair)", so Dot it is. Her nickname will be Peppermint Patty.

Her and Lucy are getting along great and she is such a doll. I love piggies.
