Naming my guinea pig

[gmsong]

I just got another guinea pig! So excited! Do you guys have any possible names for her? She's black and white and a short haired guinea pig. Thanks!

Names are very personal.
Some people have themes - flowers, characters from literature or film, foods etc (mine are all Biblical names)
Wait and see what her character is like - a name might spring into mind

Pictures please

 

[gmsong]

Ok! She's in her hidey and I can't really get a good picture

Mine all start with Ro except Posey Rocket who starts with two Po and has two names!

Did you figure out the situation with veggies? What cage do you have?
Mine are called Lily and Luna. They flow well together and fit their personality. It's really up to you and what names you like

Agreed that names are personable. My piggies' names just naturally came to me
We'd love to see photos, maybe some names will pop in our heads

Ooh, yes please, I love a photo of a piggie x

My boys are Smokey and Bacon, I liked how the names went together really well.

I agree that names are personal, while you can choose based on personality or appearance it could just be a name you like!

Based on appearance I would go Panda or Oreo

If you are really unsure you could have a “trial” where you call her a name for a while and see how it suits her.
As you get to know your piggy you can decide whether you want to keep that name or not

That is the exact description of my second guinea pig! Her name is Lilo and my golden one is named Monroe! I picked names that I knew would always be talked about. Monroe like Marilyn Monroe and Lilo from Lilo and Stitch. I also just in general picked names that I like too. You need to have a list of names and then get the guinea pig. Test them out see which one they respond to the best and which one fits their personality. Quickly I found out Monroe liked attention and so did Marilyn Monroe because she was obviously famous. I also found out that Lilo loved to give kisses and was just all around sweet like Stitch from Lilo and Stitch but the name Lilo sounded better. Hope this helped you out!
