But first, here is how we got our names. I was named after the Kink's song, and Buffy was named because when she was a baby guinea pig, she looked exactly like a little miniature buffalo: hence, Buffy.
If your guinea pig is a girl, you can name her:
- After a flower: Dandelion, Lily, Lavender, Periwinkle, Peppermint, Rose, Tulip, Violet, Jasmine, Daisy, Dahlia, Clover, Heather, Iris, Blossom, Satsuma
- After something sweet: Twinkie, Cinnamon, Gumdrop, Tapioca, Mochi, Lychee
- After something from mythology: Pixie, Athena, Amalthea, Aurora, Elektra, Freyja, Persephone, Rapunzel
- From a famous woman's name: Marilyn, Ariel, Belle, Bella, Tinkerbell, Alice, Camilla, Paris
If your guinea pig is a boy, you can name him:
- Shamrock, Marshmallow, Licorice, Snickers, Yoshi, Zeus, Neptune, Pluto, Pumbaa, Thunder, Rumbles, Thumper
If you get a pair of guinea pigs, you can pick two names that go together:
- Mario and Luigi, Peanut Butter and Jelly, Mike and Ike, etc.
You can also add title to your new guinea pig's name: Lord Marshmallow, Prince Shamrock, Mr. Yoshi, Lady Periwinkle, Miss Lily, Princess Ariel, Dr. Neptune, Captain Pumbaa etc.
Our names for our guinea pigs -
ReplyDeleteChuck - 2 favourite tv shows - Pushing Up Daisies (Charlotte - Chuck) and 'Chuck' (Charles) which could have worked for boy or girl.
Rodney - as in the ginger guinea pig from Dr Doolittle.

DeleteMac and Cheese. If we get a third, he'll probably be Ketchup or Wieners. We considered Pulled Pork, but that seemed a little strange for a guinea PIG.
ReplyDeleteWe like Mac and Cheese for guinea pig names. We're glad you didn't go with "Pulled Pork"!
DeleteI have new guinea pigs after my previous ones mysteriously died at 11 months (no idea how...) :( but my new ones' names are Peach and Daisy (from Mario Bros.)
