Peppa Pig's mum giving birth has been a hot topic of conversation this week.

Mummy Pig and Daddy Pig announced the birth of their newest piglet live on Good Morning Britain, and even parodied Princess Kate and Prince William by posing for photographers with their newborn on the steps outside the hospital.

For one mum, the news of the little piglet's birth has sparked concern after she found out that Peppa's new little sister has been named Evie.

Mum, Danielle, named her two-year-old daughter Evie because she felt it was a 'pretty and delicate' name.

Initially, the mum from County Down thought that her little girl would be delighted to share her name with a character from the popular cartoon. However, she soon became concerned about the possible impact of her daughter sharing her name with a pig.

Danielle explained: ""Initially, I was like 'oh my goodness, this is so good.'

"And when I go home, Evie is going to be thrilled when I tell her.

"After I thought about it a bit, I realised children will know this pig as Evie Pig, and what if people started calling my daughter Evie Pig or started oinking at her?

"I know that if a child were called Peppa, people would call them Peppa Pig."

The mum continued: "At first I was flattered, I've picked a good name, and they think it is a good name too.

"As I thought that, I was like 'no no, this is not good'.

"You're telling me that I gave birth to my daughter in January 2023, and I thought 'yep, that's it, she's called Evie'.

"That is a pretty name, it is perfect for her.

"You're telling me that Mummy Pig looked at a pig and thought the same thing? I don't think so."

Danielle is now concerned that people may start oinking at her daughter when they find out her name.

She explained: "What if my child is in nursery or school, or she's just making friends at soft play and they're like 'hey, what's your name?'

"And she's like 'Evie' and they're like 'oh, like Evie Pig?' and then she is compared to a pig for the rest of her life?

"And even worse than that, kids are nasty, what if a kid starts oinking at her for fun?"
