We have a Dittisham Suzanne.<BR/><BR/>As for names, our boars all start with G and the sows with D: for Guys and Dolls.<BR/><BR/>I like the idea of naming yours after flowers, especially when sows can be such great, big galumphs!

Then you'd have Lavender, Angela, Maudie, Gertrude, Dora, Daphne, etc.<BR/><BR/>Have fun naming her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434191994110070734.post-42939098476806839672009-03-24T17:12:00.000+00:002009-03-24T17:12:00.000+00:00I like the Nigella idea and its associated names. ...I like the Nigella idea and its associated names.
