Hamster Names
A List of Popular Hamster Names
Choosing hamster names can be a challenging task. First of all, you want your hamster to have a name that is meaningful--a name that says some about his or her personality as well as one that has connections to something in the world or something that you might value or think is funny.
One of the most common hamster names is Houdini. You can only speculate as to whether that means most hamsters are escape artists or not. Music lovers name hamsters after their favorite composers, such as Mozart, Beethoven, Bach or Chopin. Hamster names for artists include Monet, Picasso, Rembrandt, and Van Gogh. The number one philosopher, when it comes to hamster names, is Plato.
While some hamster parents opt for these artsy-type names, others favor names of entertainers and movie/TV stars. For instance, Demi, Delta, Dixie, and Dolly are all frequent choices. Those coming to mind first include Demi Moore, Delta Burke, Dixie Carter and Dolly Parton. On the other hand, Delta could also be the name of an airline and Dixie could mean the hamster’s owner was fascinated by the Civil War. Elvis is a popular name for just about any pet. You can try out Leonardo, Petula ot Fabian as well.
TV characters are another choice for hamster names. The most popular is probably Fonzie, made famous by the long-running “Happy Days” show. You could also call your hamster Gilligan, Hunter, Mcgyver, Maude, Mindy, Roxanne, or if you are a big Star Trek fan, Mr. Spock. Don’t forget about cartoons either. Various cartoon characters are great choices for hamster names. Popular ones are Elmo, Sweetpea, Winnie, Woodstock, Yogi Bear and Pooh.
