Unique Guinea Pig Names

It doesn’t actually matter what names you give your piggie friends, it is simply one way to choose guinea pig names. They don’t have any idea that they’re being called a different name, so there’s no particular reason to choose one over the other. 

Nothing can stop you from choosing a name that reflects the guinea pigs character and appearance.

For instance, if she is a sweet guinea pig that likes to cuddle and sleep then you might want to choose a guinea pig name like “Fluffers” or “Snugglebug”.

If your guinea pig is full of energy and very playful, guinea pig names like “Lizard” or “Boomerang” might be a good guinea pig name for him.

Personality Thinking From Petsive

You can name a pet whatever you want as it’s just a cute little ball of fluff that won’t really care if its name is Fedora or whatever weird thing you come up with.

However, guinea pigs can live up to 10-15 years so it’s probably better if you pick a name you like. In addition, we also have a few things to keep in mind when choosing a name for your guinea pig:

  • It is the guinea pig owner’s responsibility to select guinea pig names that do not stress guinea pigs out. In guinea pigs, guinea pig names should be easy to remember and pronounce correctly while talking with excitement and enthusiasm.
  • A guinea pig’s name should not be too long or difficult to say, as guinea pigs may get confused.
  • Guinea pig names should also not be similar to guinea pigs sounds that guinea pigs make, as you don’t want your guinea pig running over when they hear their guinea pig name only to be disappointed when they do not get a treat.
  • Guinea pigs are very intelligent. You try to call your guinea pig in turn by several names. Who knows? What if they react to something with a random name?  This will make it easy to train them by name.
  • Finally guinea pigs names should have some connection with guinea pigs owners.

Final thoughts

Guinea pigs are fairly unique pets, names need to reflect their uniqueness. Although there are several ways to choose guinea pig names, it is important that you as the guinea pig owner feel good about the name that you give them.

Because this will make it easier to bond with them and enjoy spending time together. 

You finally brought home your guinea pig! Congrats on the new addition to the family. Which one will you pick when choosing the perfect name for your new pet?
