When you are choosing a name for your hamster, pick one that fits their features. A cute name such as “Tiny” will be a perfect fit for a very tiny hamster or ‘Ginger’ might be good for a golden coloured hamster. If you want your hamster’s name to mean anything then you should only name him or her once and encourage everyone in the household to use that name. There are many types of names to choose from. These include male names, female names, unisex names and some popular names of famous or cartoon hamsters.
Here are four alphabetical lists (a-z) of cute hamster names to help you choose.

Which is your favorite? We hope to have given you some good ideas for naming your new baby hamster. That was the easy bit now you need to learn what you can feed your hamster and get a good quality cage and fun accessories to make your hamster feel safe and right at home.
sorry
but i said that just the best name for hamster.
now all of the names in here are good and i don’t know to choose what ???
Just look at your hamsters fur color, and think of anything with that color.
Excellent list of hamster names! I think it’s important to pick a good name to help owners bond, we name the things we love. These lists are a great place to start!
Yeah I just think they shoukd have cinnamon on there then it wouldve been perfect! But amazing list!!
I have 2 Syrian hamsters one her name is Lani the other is Tsunami she is a butterball we call her Nami for short but she responds to both. I also have 3 Robo dwarf hamsters Sonic, Bella and W.G short for Wonder Girl.
since when was angus a girls name?!?!
I think that was a typo and meant to be ‘Agnus’ which is a Greek name meaning pure or holy.
Murdo is a great me for hamsters as it means mouse
i named mine LouLou that WASNT on here!!!!!!!!!
Which is a variation of Louise, Lucy and Lulu. Now added, thanks.
it was..
I think the names are wonderful and you have good names to choose from!
Why thanks Mary!
annie.
Chloe isn’t a unisex name
Well spotted, we’ll get that edited, thank you.
It can be. There’s a really good story with a main male character that is named Chloe.
We have a Tommy hamster and we named her Trixie… thanks for the help my 5 yr old son couldn’t decide what to name her
I love this website you can take one name and create your own name from a name on this! Like I saw honey so I thought honey lemon!
Dexter
I named my hamster Hensley, but I just found out Hensley is actually a girl. I may keep the name though.
Ok so my hamster is brown and white and the names I like that I picked is precious, peanut, and kiwi. I DONT KNOW WHAT TO CHOOSE CAN SOMEONE CHOOSE FOR MEEE
Name it Kiwi
My hamster is brown and white and I chose these names Precious, Peanut, And Kiwi. CAN SOMEONE CHOOSE FOR ME I CANT CHOOSE
I’ve had 4 hamsters and my brother has had 2.
Male:
Bourbon (after the biscuit) who my dad nicknamed Whiskey
Maltesers
James (my brother’s who I called James Bond 007 Licensed To Squeak)
Female:
Fudge
Toffee
Annie
Strictly speaking, apart from Annie and James, they are unisex but the gender is of the hamster who the name was bestowed upon.
Some great names there, I like your dads nickname for ‘Bourbon’. BTW our dog is called Fudge!
Me and my sister have two male Russian dwarf hampsters called jellybean and whiskers !!!!!
Both great names Holly, we’ve got Whiskers on our list but I don’t think we have Jellybean, we’ll get that added, thanks!
I’m Getting A Female Russian Dwarf Hamster What Would Be The Perfect Name For Her?
You should get to know the hamster and then you’ll know it and the right name will come to you
Hammy,sweetie,baby,titan all my hamsters all named on personality. As long as you love your pet name it what you like
You should put Jamie on the girls names list
We just got 2 new hamsters. A boy winter white dwarf that we named Kirby, and a brown and white girl Syrian short hair that we named Cookie. Separate cages of course lol.
Mine was named Mochilicious and Peanutbutter..7
I want to call mine Gus, Cooper, Cookie, or Bonnie
I’m getting a winter white hamster and if it’s a girl I might name her Pebble if it’s a boy i’ll name it Kashmir because that’s an awesome name and it’s my favorite song.
I personally like Cotten and Doodles because they are cute and can be for male OR female!
A couple names that are not on there are Pocky and Daisy
What about Dr. Hamsterviel
Like from lilo and stitch
What should I name my female winter white hamster I got her a colorful cage and she is of corse mostly very light grey with a little bit of not so light grey and she Is very sweet and I kind of want her name to go along with her cage
It was so hard picking a name cause they were all so good
I just got a girl syrian hamster who is still pretty young (not a baby, but closer to that age). She’s adorable, sweet, shy, curious, etc. And I’ve thought of a few names, but even though I’m a creative writer I can’t seem to pick one that I really like (maybe I’m overthinking ). I want a sweet and cute name that matches her personality, that ends in the ee sound, and that is not a common human name. The names I like so far are:
Everleigh or Evleigh
Tiny
Baby
Eppie
Lovie
Sweetpea
Shylie
Any other suggestions? What do you think?
Surprisingly I didn’t find any that I like for her from the list (unless they’re stated above), though they’re all great names!
