From Wikipedia:
In the Jim Nabors episode of The Muppet Show, Kermit briefly reveals that Miss Piggy's second name is Lee, an homage to the actress and singer Peggy Lee. However, this is the only time (apart from various magazine articles and a Muppet book) that a character calls her Piggy Lee. Furthermore, in the Avery Schreiber episode, Miss Piggy "allows" Avery to call her by her real name Pigathius. Thus, it could be said that Miss Piggy's real name is Pigathius Lee, although these mentions are one-note comical asides, and don't necessarily represent the history of the character.

Actually, thank Wikipedia and like Michael Scott said on the Office, Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject. So you know you are getting the best possible information.

Oh yeah, just like that guy who edited WikiPedia a while back saying Sinbad just died, or like the other guy who edited WikiPedia saying Colin Mochrie had just died, or like the idiots that said Gilda Radner was a Canadian.
