Red face Help me name my new princess

So today we welcomed a new addition into our family. She is an 8 week old longhaired dove Syrian hamster. She is beautiful, and just called out to me. I hadn't been planning on getting another hamster quite yet, and had planned to get a male when we did bring home another fur baby... but we all know what happens when they pic us

She is very sweet, and has quite a laid back temperament considering how young she is, and the fact she is a PAH ham (I couldn't help it, she wanted to come home!). I handled her in store yesterday & today when i went back for her, and both times she calmed down within minutes and was happy to explore my lap and to climb on my hands. And today when I got her home she let me pick her up and put her in her new cage, no struggling or stress indicators at all. She's settled down, and will be left alone for the next few days but can't wait to start to properly get to know her

Anyway... I will try to attach a photo or two of her... but help me think of a name!
I would like a pretty female name, and originally liked lavender, but it doesn't 'fit' her...







(btw, it's just a temp cage for the time being. Just in the process of fixing the alexander cage from it's previous resident Mollie, who chewed through the base to escape)

Just to point out she is actually tiny! The photos for some reason make her look huge, but that's the teeniest tiniest bendy bridge she's stood on. She's absolutely miniature.

Hey! We got our Syrian from PAH a few weeks ago too! Since we got him he's been pretty chilled out, confident and sociable - much more so than any other hamsters I've ever had.

In terms of names, maybe you could look up some girls names on a baby naming website? Or go with use the name meaning search's? We did this with ours - we were intially going to call him Ruari but as soon as we got him home we knew it wouldn't fit so we started looking up names associated with Black/Night/etc (black hamster!) in the end we managed to find two really nice names - Faolan Asra. Faolan meaning "little wolf", and Asra meaning "travels by night" - so there's lots of fun things you could do.

I took your request literally and found

Amira
Sasa
Tiana

which are translations of 'princess' in other languages. I just chose the ones I thought might suit her, but there are many more as well.

She's a lovely colour - I can see why your willpower went out the window

Thank you everyone. We are going to go through some of the suggestions this evening and see if any suit her. She is such a little cutie.

she is lovely - she does look like a mink though rather than dove. I'm sure she has eye rings. Young minks are quite greyish.
I like Tiana
