Aw thanks! Morag has a Pippin and a Merry too!



And I lost count of how many Harry the Hamsters we had in our house growing up (my little brother's hamsters were all called Harry. When one died, he got a new one the same colour (cinnamon banded) and called that one Harry as well. Then we got a Labrador and he's called Harry too.....)



I've been thinking of names recently as I'm planning on a new Syrian next weekend xfingers crossedx (if not, at least meeting some local breeders next weekend).



Here's my current crop of possibles:

BOYS: Alfie, Arthur, George, Oz or Joey

GIRLS: Phoebe, Jasmine, Meg, Sascha or Indigo



Not a hamster name, but I just heard someone got a snake recently, and called her Aritsa - as in "aah! it's a snake!". I thought that was funny.



I dislike names that are too "pink" - like Cuddles or Fluffy (although I was guilty of that one when I was younger!). When I've been working at the vets more often than not it's the hamsters called Cuddles that secretly want to eat you alive.
