Jack does not reveal Piggy's name to the rest of the boys. During the first meeting Jack tells Piggy to, "shut up Fatty." To which Ralph replies, "His name isn't Fatty it's Piggy." Until that point Ralph was the only one who knew Piggy's nickname as Piggy had earlier told him, "I don't mind what they call me as long as it isn't what the boys called me at school...Piggy."

Names are important to Piggy because they give him a sense of identity and belonging. Being referred to by his real name, rather than just being called "Piggy," helps him feel respected and recognized as an individual. It also reflects his desire for social acceptance and acknowledgement from the other boys on the island.
