How to choose a name
- Short and easy to say: two syllables sound good and stick.
- Watch it for a few days: its color, and whether it is greedy, sleepy or curious, will give you ideas.
- If you have several, pick names that do not sound alike.
- Hamsters do not learn their names like dogs do, but they get used to your voice: talk softly to it while you feed it.
In Nibbly you name it when you adopt it
In Nibbly you adopt up to four hamsters, choose whether each one is male or female and give it any name you like. Stuck for one? The game suggests these:
- Peanut
- Cookie
- Cinnamon
- Nugget
- Hazel
- Mochi
- Biscuit
- Pumpkin
- Kiwi
- Fluffy
- Muffin
- Pebble
Each one is born with its own color, pattern and personality (greedy, sleepy, playful, shy or tidy), so the perfect name usually comes by itself.
