Unisex names

Your hamster possesses many characteristics that will aid your search for a very special name. They are fun, cute, curious and very clever. It is worth thinking for a name for them that is unique and original. There are many types of hamster names to choose from. But, if you still do not know if you prefer to adopt a male or female, we can show you some unisex options. Choose from the following:

  • Corn. If your hamster has yellow fur, is round and small like this grain, look no further! Some names are just made for cuties!
  • Peach. If their hair is as soft and velvety as the skin of a peach, this name is perfect for your hamster.
  • Disc. Your hamster loves to spin on their wheel for a long time and they are plump and round like a disk.
