Default Hammy Nicknames

Reading Dragos post this morning about the hamsters he is looking after got me thinking about the strange little nicknames we give to our pets (Ive been chuckling at Fatniss Evereats all day lol).

I love hearing peoples nicknames their pets and thought it would be fun to share your wierd and wonderful nicknames with everyone.

My mini monster is officially named Khaleesi, but I dont actually think she knows her name as I use nicknames for her. Boo boo or Boo is her main one - I think this came from her popping her head up in random places and I kept saying "boo". She responds mainly to this when I call her. She is also lovingly refered to as Mouth - for obvious reasons haha (sometimes I think she is controlled by that thing and must obey its demands), Pongu when she is in heat and mini monster. She doesnt always respond to Khali, maybe a bit more often when I call her Khali boo.

What are your names for your pets? X

My Syrians name is Cersei but mostly I call her Mouse, Little Mouse(yes she's not a mouse that's what makes it cute) or Boo
I've just gotten a dwarf called Salem the other day and only settled on the name today so who knows what nicknames he'll end up being called.

I have quite a few nicknames for my pets.

Jasper mainly gets called Jas or Jassy or Little Larry-Jasper. Oreo has had a LOT of nicknames over the years. I'm not mentioning all of them, because some are inside jokes between family and friends. Currently, I call him Potato or Pig or Blob or Squeaky. Pemba normally gets called Pem, Pemmy or Pemmy Boy.

Sounds like Khaleesi has some funny little nicknames .

Awe all such lovely nicknames! I love Pongu, I think it is appropriate for many female hamsters lol

The nicknames I have for my pets are pretty boring..
I usually refer to my rabbit, Willow, as "bunny" oddly enough she responds to that more than her actual name! I refer to my young leopard gecko as "chicken" due to the fact that people tell me he looks like raw chicken because he's a Mack snow albino. His true name however, is Teep. I generally call Duncan either "the Duncmeister" or simply "rodent". Although, some of my friends refer to him as "Donuts" due to the fact that they thought he was named after Dunkin' Donuts!

I'm definitely excited to see some of the other funny or cute nicknames out there

Ooh I forgot some haha. For some reason sometimes I call her Squidge ( even I dont know why) and Little bear. I wont tell you the names she gets called when I see the damage her mouth has done haha

Sabrerose and Drago I love it when people call their animals by another animals name, like Mouse or Chicken. I once knew a cat called Chicken haha. I love that you said your gecko looks like chicken haha made me chuckle

Chesca I love Pig and blob as nicknames haha

My Chinese have slightly longer 'Official' names and although they have everyday names too, they've still got nicknames.

Lord James
Officially Vectis' Lord James, Earl of Metallica but his everyday name is James.
His nicknames are Jamesy, His Lordship, Smoosh and Lord Hedgehog.

Jessie Jaye
Officially The Honourable Jessie Jaye of Metallica but her everyday name is Jess.
Her nicknames are Mad Little Fairy, Picklemouse and Mess Jess

Victoria
Officially Lilliput's Miss Lilli-Victoria of Metallica but her everyday name is Vicky.
Her nickname is Vickymouse, mainly due to her tendency to cling to your finger like a mouse. Interestingly enough, Victoria's mother was called Mouse.

Matthew C. Nobria
Officially Matthew C. Nobria, Viscount Metallica (the C stands for Crawley and Nobria was his litter name) his everyday name is Matthew.
His nickname is Mr Matthew, which is also how some of the characters in Downton Abbey would refer to Matthew Crawley, who is the character that my Matthew is named after.

There are probably some other random things I call her as well that I'm not thinking of at the moment

I think that Fatniss Evereats is going to be hard to overcome

I also like fuzzbutt, fluff and that kind of names that people that talks in English use.

I don't use special nicknames for my Blacky. I sometimes call him Raton (that means mouse) or Explorador (explorer) or Bandido (bandit), but anything very original.
