Fans lose their minds over Peppa Pig’s real name revelation as a new baby piglet joins the family fun
Hold onto your muddy puddles because Peppa Pig fans are squealing louder than ever — and it’s not just because of the big news that a new piglet is on the way!
In a twist no one saw coming, fans have been left screaming after discovering that Peppa Pig, the beloved cartoon icon who’s graced our screens for 21 years, has been hiding a secret: Peppa isn’t even her first name! That’s right — the internet is currently in full meltdown mode after learning that Peppa’s full name is actually Pepperius Peppa Pig.
Yes, you read that correctly — Pepperius!
Social media has exploded with disbelief, with one fan posting: “Peppa Pig’s real name being Pepperius Peppa Pig is making me scream!” and another adding, “You learn something new every day, and today I learned that Peppa’s real name is Pepperius. I am shaken!”
Well I guess this was accidentally posted and deleted on eventbrite:

As if that weren’t enough excitement, Peppa’s family just dropped another bombshell — they’re expecting a new baby girl! Fans went into full celebration mode after a giant gender reveal party at London’s Battersea Power Station, confirming that Peppa and George are about to become big siblings.
Mummy Pig, who’s usually busy doing her mysterious “very important work” on the computer, proudly showed off her baby bump and ultrasound scan during an exclusive reveal on Good Morning Britain. The newest little Pig is expected to arrive this summer, and the whole Peppa Pig universe is absolutely buzzing.
The gender reveal bash doubled as a charity event, supporting the UK’s National Children’s Trust (NCT) — the new official charity partner for Peppa Pig. True to form, the Pig family celebrated in style, with balloons, music, and lots of oinks of joy!
And if you think the surprises end there, think again: Peppa is about to hit the big screen! Fans can join her and George on a heartwarming new adventure with Peppa Meets the Baby, a brand-new cinema event launching on May 30 across 2,600 cinemas in 19 countries. Expect sing-alongs, laughter, and, of course, adorable baby antics.
Meanwhile, the special gender reveal episode will also be dropping on YouTube on May 3 as part of the Peppa Pig Tales series. So, clear your calendars — Peppa season is officially in full swing!
Speaking to Grazia magazine, Mummy Pig admitted choosing a name for the new piglet has been no easy task. “We had too many ideas! Knowing it’s a girl helped, though — Peter, Percy, or Patrick Pig didn’t quite fit!” she laughed. “But once she’s here, we’ll just know the perfect name. That’s what happened with Peppa and George.”
Peppa Pig, which first oinked onto screens in 2004, has since become a global empire, airing in 180 territories, translated into 40 languages, and spinning off books, toys, theme parks, and more — raking in an estimated worth of over £1 billion.
Yet, despite her superstar status, Peppa’s creators Neville Astley and Mark Baker once worried no one would even care. Sketching pigs in pubs and each other’s living rooms, they faced plenty of skeptics. “People would ask what we were working on, we’d say, ‘A pig called Peppa,’ and they’d just wander off,” laughed Astley.
Fast-forward two decades and Peppa’s simple, charming adventures continue to captivate children everywhere — without ever making fun of her. “Children don’t like it when you laugh at them,” Baker explained, sharing the secret sauce behind Peppa’s enduring appeal.
So there you have it — Pepperius Peppa Pig is officially the full name, and a brand-new sister is about to join the fold. It’s a lot to take in. But if there’s one thing we’ve learned today, it’s that in Peppa’s world, you should always expect the unexpected!
