What is the best name for a Syrian hamster?

Syrian hamsters have earned more “lush” names with their physique

Syrian hamsters are quite large and well-fed in build, so this feature can be reflected in the nickname (Donut, Pie, Fatty, Fatty).

Also, many pets are highly mobile; you can take advantage of this feature and give them names such as Parachute, Tourist, Traveler, Fugitive. If your animal loves to climb tall pieces of furniture, name it a Climber or Mountain Climber.

If you like more unusual names, pay attention to options such as Caesar, Homer, Julius, Tsar. Well, if you want to choose a simple nickname based on a human motive, then Yarik, Timka, Filya or Senya will do.

In addition, you can choose sonorous, majestic nicknames, for example: Apollo, Horace, Daniel, Julien or Lawrence.

A good choice would also be a nickname consonant with the name of a famous person: Nobel, Winston, Plato or Chopin. Surely relatives and friends will appreciate such an original solution.

Choosing the right nickname

There are practically no restrictions when choosing a name for a hamster

The choice of a nickname for a hamster depends on who will be its owner . If you purchased this pet for yourself, you can give free rein to your imagination and come up with the most unusual name. For example, Cookie, Donut, Acrobat and any others.

If you are choosing a pet for a child (especially if he is very small), it would be more logical to choose an easy, simple and short nickname that the baby will quickly remember and learn to pronounce correctly. For example, Bulka, Motya, Button and others. You can also leave the choice up to the child himself: perhaps he has a favorite cartoon character whose name he wants to name the rodent.

Pay attention to your pet's behavior . Perhaps he likes to sleep? Then an excellent solution would be to name the baby Sonya, Lazy, or Dreamy.

In the case when the hamster, on the contrary, behaves very actively, is curious, constantly runs around the cage or in the wheel, come up with an appropriate nickname for him: Arrow, Stormtrooper, Shmyga or Shustrik.

Does he constantly eat something on both cheeks and is actively gaining weight? Let him become Lakomka, Zhorik, Korzhik or Yumka.

Has fluffy fur? Then you can call him Fluffy, Fluffy, Tufted or Hairy.

Or maybe you noticed special characteristic features? If a hamster appears to have sly eyes, it may become a Fox, a Sly, a Slick, or a Trickster. If, on the contrary, the pet is kind and peace-loving, suitable nicknames would be Milash, Kindly, Laska.

Depending on the size of the pet, you can call it Giant, Baby, Tiny, Chubby, Fatty or Puffy.

Surely you (or your child) are fond of reading books or watching movies, then you can name your pet after one of your favorite characters: Sherlock, Arrow, Batman, Tyson or Jordan.

Or maybe you are crazy about your own profession? Programmers, for example, often call animals Glitch, Screen, Spoiler, Pixel or Zoom. Actors often settle on such nicknames as Artist, Author, Director, Frame or Action. Girls love to call animals by fashionable brand names: Gucci, Dior, Beautik, Bow or Prade.

Hamsters are quite smart: they are able to remember their name, the faces of their owner’s relatives, and can perform some simple tricks.
