Funny Pet Hamster Names

Running In Place Searching For a Name

Hamsters are funny pets. They will happily run in place, never the wiser that they aren’t actually getting anywhere. They build forts out of fluff and hide out for hours. They have no qualms with making babies anytime and anywhere, and they will pee in your hand without a seconds notice. In honor of all these amusing traits, your new pet hamster deserves an amusing name. In fact, if you were to give your hamster a common name like “Bob” or “Jill”, you would probably find that most of those you introduce your new buddy to will be disappointed with your lack of creativity.

Food is a good place to start when looking to anoint your humorous new friend. Your little “Taco” or “Waffles” is sure to get a laugh, and “Marshmallow” or “Doughnut” are destined to be sugary sweet! “Walnut” or “Chestnut” are perfect monikers for your tan hued pet, or even if you’ve just found yourself thinking your new hamster may be just a little bit off! “Tater” can easily become the more recognizable “Tater-Tot”, and “Honey” can be transformed into “Honey-Bun” for a little added laugh! “Lucky-Charmer” is sure to bless your life, and “Poptart” will produce their fair share of giggles. “Pumpkin” can become “Punkin”, and “T-Bone” is the perfect name for your cuddly friend with an attitude.

Food is not your only place to turn however. You could go the route of fictional characters like “Barney”, “Rambo”, or “Kujo” and be sure that your hamster is well known in your circle of friends. You could add a title, and really pump up the intensity with “Sir Chadwick” or “Mr. Whiskas”, or you could speak to your new buddies obvious intelligence level with something like “Bubba” or “Billy Bob”. “Frisky” is clearly an option for your boy hamster if you also have a girl, and “Peppy Pip Squeak” works divinely for your girl with boundless energy. Still, it’s possible that nothing would be quite so suiting as “Little Buddy”.

Whatever you decide, remember that there is no such thing as a hamster with a name that is too unique. Your little “Zizzi” or “Alfonzo” could turn out to be one of the most amusing facets of your day, so they in turn deserve a name that suits their fun and freewheeling personality. Keep your mind open, and choose a name that makes you smile just to say it out loud. After all, when it comes to hamster names; humor is key and nothing is off limits!
