Got a name for Rubb's pig?

Chef Matthew Levin, who's opening Rubb this fall at 4445 Main Street in Manayunk, tells us he needs a name for the menacing, tatted-up pig that serves as the barbecue spot's mascot. So whatcha got? Drop you best moniker in the comments. We'll have more on the spot (as well as his still-in-the-works NoLibs restaurant Masano) in a bit.

So sorry, your first comment got quarantined by our spam moderator. Let the record show that cjmemay submitted a Suicide/Suey-related pig name a full two minutes before Matt's "Sueycide Suey." But hey, we're all winners here.

Well, no I just look bitter. Doh! Stupid spam filter!

I'll give credit where credit is due, Sueycide O' Bacon is still better than Suicide Suey.

This one is easy given the spelling of Rubb:



Wilbbur or Wilburr



depending on their preference to have the "bb" match (and Rubb spelled backwards), or to have both words end in double letters. Please tell me you get the reference.
