Kerre Report post Posted December 4, 2005 I'm getting a hamster on Tuesday, which is quite far away But I can't think of any names. I'll probably get a male. 'Hammy' is not an option. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smiley Report post Posted December 4, 2005 Maybe a favourite singer? Or favourite person in a film?? 'Fluff ball'?? 'Nibles'?? 'Thing that hides behind the sofa'? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flora Report post Posted December 4, 2005 I had a hamster called Perigrin I got it when I was 12 and can't remember why I gave it that name. He lived for 5 years and had a great life. We could leave his cage open and he would come and nick fruit out of the fruit ball and in the evening he would watch telly with us He was the tamest and happiest hamster I've ever met We have a photo of him dragging a big apple from the fruit ball in to his cage and one of him sitting on my dad's foot watching TV. My dad didn't like it when we first got him, but I knew Perigrin had won his heart when he once commented 'That 'rat's' almost human'. Hope you get a hamster as special as Perigrin Lauren Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tylers-mum Report post Posted December 4, 2005 I had a hamster in my teenage years (Yes, I'm getting old! LOL). and his name was Fudge. Dunno why I named him that other than he was a fudge colour. LOL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kerre Report post Posted December 4, 2005 I'll call him Toffee, or Fudge. Or something. Caramel I'll reserve in case we get a girl. That's cool, Lauren! I want an awesome hamster like that Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tylers-mum Report post Posted December 4, 2005 Wow Lauren! 5yrs is a long time for a hamster! I thought 2-3 was the norm! LOL Mine lived for 3yrs and was a sweet little thing. Never once nipped me even when I nearly baked him in the sun! (he was in the cage under the window and it was a very hot day!). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lancelot Report post Posted December 4, 2005 My grandmother had one called Derek... she lived in a supposedly pet-free block of flats, and wanted a 'proper' name just in case she mentioned him to anyone by mistake. Presumably they all thought she had a tiny, fruit-eating, loo-roll obsessed bloke up there in a cage instead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TuX Report post Posted December 4, 2005 (edited) Kerre,what I do is think of a theme first,and then use names from that,most of my rats names have come from computer games:eg, Akira,Ryo(pronounced Ree-oh,SEGA based Ryo from Shenmue on Akira from their Virtua Fighter series),Turok (a computer game series),Khan (didn't base this on anything,just liked the name),Tux (after the linux Penguin logo),Shadow (after DJ Shadow),and Bucky (after cartoon-Bucky O Hare). Maybe look up Japanese names and their English translations on google,or a name from a computer game or cartoon series etc..etc..

TuX Report post Posted December 4, 2005 I'd probably do sweeties. Like fudge etc. Do you know what colour he will be,or has he not been reserved? The colour could be associated with the sweet as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kerre Report post Posted December 4, 2005 I haven't reserved one, really. I'll just get a cute, healthy one. But I don't misdoubt that it'll be male. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viper Report post Posted December 4, 2005 Thats like my tortoise he has toffee and fudge in his name. I had a hamster that was clever, he was called peppe and lived anywhere but his cage, he would wander around and when we called him and banged on the floor he would come running from where ever he was. Cute little chap. I've had rabbits too. There names were Honey, Slipper (he was all fluffy and looked like one of those big slippers that were once fasionable) Squidge, saphire (she had blue eyes) saphy for short and a tiny little one who had red eyes called Ruby she didn't live long (runt of the litter), but was such a sweetie. I also have three parrots called Max, Kiwi and Toby. My dog is called teddy and my cat is called smudge. Viper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kerre Report post Posted December 4, 2005 I like rabbits, they taste like chicken. Just kidding. But my cousin once had a rabbit. It was good to stroke but got eaten by a fox And I couldn't have a rabbit even if I wanted one, 'cos of our mad dog. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
