Small pet, big name
Tiny pets often get the funniest names. A hamster named Hercules or a guinea pig called Sir Squeaks-a-Lot is guaranteed to make people smile. Cute names like Peanut, Nibbles and Mochi are always popular too.
Look at color and habits
Golden hamsters might be Honey, Nugget or Goldie, while a fluffy guinea pig might be Cotton or Fuzzball. If your pet is a champion wheel-runner, Turbo or Zoom might fit.
Guinea pigs in pairs
Guinea pigs are happiest with a companion, so consider pairing names like Bubble and Squeak or Pip and Squeak.
