I wish I could help you out and suggest a name but I just can't think of any.

I thought the world's largest rodent was the capybara? Or maybe the Giant Rat of Sumatra?

"but in spite of this fact only grows to a length of about 4 inches." If that is the case, then the obvious choice must be 'Bobjack', as he only grows to 4 inches aswell!!

Did you know that the Hampster is the world's largest Rodent, but in spite of this fact only grows to a length of about 4 inches.
Call it FangMy rabbits have all been named after characters from Star Trek - hence we currently have Bones (the Mum of the litter) Wesley and Seven of Nine.
We previously had Geordie (born totally blind but a beautiful and friendly character) Scotty and the odd one out Patch so called becuase of his colour.
All from the same litter despite the experts saying they would never get on together. (all over 5 yrs old)

When I was very young we had a hamster called "so-so" which was what my parents thought of it. It died in my hands when I pulled it out from the sofa too roughly -sob. It used to get lost in the piano and make eerie harpish sounds RIP

I change my vote to Old Shep.

I once had a cat named Munchkin. She became known as Munch after she attacked a few people including an exterminator who refused to ever enter my home again. Made me happy - I had nothing to exterminate.

How about ,.gargoyl;e (has to be spelt right, of course)

I was having a deep and meaningful talk with Himself over dinner tonight, and the conversation led (as it does) to the topic "What would you call your hamster?" . Well he was deep in thought for a while, then he said "Is it male or female?"

I said "You know, I have no idea. Does it matter?"

He said, "I have always thought when I looked at hamsters' faces that they are rather serious, intellectual little creatures, so I think they should have a name that befits that - you know, ancient Roman, or Greek, or something".

Then he started to write a list of names, and here are some of them:

Euphrastus
Aloysius
Ignatius
Columbanus
Euripides}   \ the tailors
Eumenides}/
Socrates
Sacheverall \ after Edith Sitwell's
Osbert          / brothers


and here are a few of mine in the same vein:

Aristocles
Tiberius
Damocles
Abelard
Cornelius
Achilles
Abundiantus (yes, this does exist, it is Latin for plentiful)
Absolom

As you can see, this important subject has been taken very seriously and has provoked much thought and soul-searching.

Or else we really need to get a life :-)

I used to name my hamsters after my favourite book/tv characters.
Of course they all ended up being called either "stinky" or "Evil Deamonic hamster of satan" after a few weeks. Both names were highly apt!

I think a hamster somewhere should be names 'wolf'.


One syllable name so that when you call him and he doesn't respond you havent wasted so much breath :).

Seriously if you are looking for a new hamster check his feet for bumps and make sure he doesnt have any strange ones. Keep his bedding dry and clean. They get some sort of affliction from fouled bedding.

Any hamster of yours John, will always have a good name as far as I'm concerned. Who has been spreading malicious gossip about it? And what's its called by the way?
