Hamsters are cute, furry and make very popular pets!   As you search for hamster names for your new furry friend, the most important thing to remember is to select a name that you like and that also suits your hamster. To help you do this, here are some helpful suggestions :

1) Find out if you have a male hamster or a female hamster .  Once you know, you can search for male hamster names or female hamster names accordingly.

2) Search for hamster names based on your hamster’s markings or the color of its fur. For example, Domino and Panda are great names for black and white hamsters or you may want to name your hamster Snowflake if he’s white, Hershey if he’s brown or Pumpkin if he’s orange.

3) Choose names like Gadget, Gizmo, Tic Tac, and Jellybean, which refer to your hamster’s diminutive stature .

4) Think of funny hamster names like Hamlet and Hambone (which are inspired by the word “hamster”) or Bear, Moose or Hulk – the opposite of what hamsters are, size-wise!

5) Search for cute names like Muffin, Doodle,   Boo Boo and Ziggy because “cute” is what hamsters are!

6) Find names that refer to your hamster’s personality – but make sure you watch your hamster for a few days so that you have a good idea of what he or she is like.

7) Use your hobbies for inspiration. Love cars, cooking or reading? Then choose a name that reflects the things that interest you!

Think of famous people…presidents, royalty, movie stars, scientists, inventors…the list is endless . If there’s someone you admire or whose name you think sounds unique  , you may want to name your hamster after them .

9) Choose names from other languages.   If you”re looking for something a little unique , choose a Native American hamster name like Yoki (rain) or a Japanese hamster name like Kabuki (Japanese dance-drama).

10) Consult pet naming books and websites. You”ll find a huge collection of hamster names to choose from.

Happy name hunting!
