How to choose a name?
There are a huge number of options for naming your pet. As a rule, it is matched to the animal, because it would be strange to call, for example, a red rodent a blackie. But you always need to be prepared for the fact that the animal will not accept the chosen name, he simply will not like it and will not respond to it.
A sign that the pet likes the new name will be tense ears and elongated whiskers; he can also stretch out to his full height, showing that he likes the option.
There are several recommendations on how to choose a nickname:
- Remember that the animal perceives, as a rule, only the first letters, so choose short and easily recognizable names.
- They respond well to hissing sounds; it is desirable that they be present in the name.
- It should not be similar to those pronounced at home, to other family members or animals.
- It is given once and cannot be changed.
There is no need to rush and name your pet as quickly as possible; there is no rush here. It is better to observe the animal, its behavior, character, temperament, perhaps this will tell you the right option.

And then the stupor sets in. There are many ideas for cats, cats and even parrots, but choosing a name for the good-natured rodent is a bit of an exotic task. What are the most popular names for guinea pigs today and what should you consider when choosing them? More on this below.
What name should you give your guinea pig?
When choosing a nickname, you can rely on various factors, namely:
- Appearance
. Does your pet have a distinctive appearance? Emphasize this with your chosen nickname. The red pig can be called Ryzhik, Peach, Ray, Freckle, Anfisa or Alice. If her fur is dark brown or black, then the names Ugolek, Blackie, Noir, Blueberry, Smolka, Find, Dymka, Nochka, Marsik or Martin are suitable. A chubby and clumsy pet can be called Carlson, Donut, Panda, Poofy, Fawn or Pie. - Habits and character
. Did the guinea pig you purchased turn out to be active and playful? Call her Fantik, Zhik, Typhoon, Zabava, Zhivchik, Fox, Zhuzha, Rogue, Bullet or Shustrik. For a phlegmatic and clumsy rodent, the ideal nicknames would be Puzik, Piglet, Sonya, Panda, Plyushkin, Drone (it will sound affectionately like “Trutya”) or Winnie. - Floor
. When choosing a nickname, it is very important to consider the gender of the pet. So, the following names would be ideal for boy guinea pigs: Bart, Georges, Buddy, Bruno, Busik, Duchess, Jumbo, Nike, Nemo, Naf, Patrick, Pavlusha, Poufik, Yasha, Yarik, Jackson, Woody or Vegas. For a girl's guinea pig, one of the following names would be suitable: Anfisa, Adele, Agata, Frosya, Bunya, Bella, Belka, Umka, Camilla, Nymph, Naomi, Khasya, Fanny, Viola, Waffle, Sheila, Yasya, Dolly, Daisy, Dusya , Chucha or Tyapa.
If you decide to have one at home, you will get a wonderful little friend for your children, who will be a pleasure to look after. These animals are calm, sweet and kind creatures. They are very timid and completely defenseless, as they will not defend themselves or attack in a dangerous moment. The animals are more likely to fall into a stupor or hide in a secluded corner. Therefore, try not to offend them during games. But these little ones love communication so much, they simply cannot stand loneliness.
We teach the animal to respond
Choosing a name is a rather complicated process, but this is only half the battle, because the animal needs to like it and respond to it. Accustoming to a nickname is not very difficult, but it will take time and patience; haste will only do harm.
Remember also that the chosen name should please all members of your family, especially children, because often the animal is purchased specifically for them. You can choose the options that suit the animal, and leave the last word to the child so that he can choose from those offered, so everyone will be happy, and all that remains is to train the guinea pig.
So, you need to start small. When you approach the cage, start saying the name, do it in a quiet voice, but so that the nickname is clearly pronounced. Try to keep your voice affectionate and gentle, so the animal will feel that nothing threatens it, and that the spoken word brings goodness.
When you say the name and the animal turns to you, be sure to give some kind of treat and praise the animal. Next time he will definitely run up to you, because he will know that it is he who is being addressed and that a treat awaits him.
They are smart and understand very well when they are being treated well, so be sure that they will make contact and get used to the name and to you.
Marine theme
Does a guinea pig have anything to do with the sea? All sources say no. By “sea”, most likely, we mean “overseas” pig - after all, they were transported across the ocean from another continent. But this does not stop you from calling your pet Pirate, Jack Sparrow, Admiral, Cabin Boy, Sailor. “Sea” nicknames are more suitable for male guinea pigs.
If your pig likes to “travel” around the apartment, then the name may also include an adventure motif: Simbad, Robinson, Tourist, Columbus.
