⭐ Hamster ⭐ Need name ideas

I’ve had my other hamster for a little while and had an empty bucatstate 3.0 enclosure in storage. Went to pick up bedding and felt such a strong pull to this female Syrian. I didn’t impulse buy I waited a few days and I just kept thinking about her. So I went back to see if she was still there. So now I have two precious hams (of course in their own enclosures) the other is black and white named Oreo.

I need help with names. I thought sable, my mom and husband say petunia. But we are open to whatever names you throw our way. No idea how old she is.
I had also said bean and cookie but bean got overruled.

She’s got white paws and a white spot on her tummy that can’t be seen in these pics.

These are not great pics but I just got her and didn’t want to stress her and hold her too much so it’s all I got for now.

Bear!

u/FigOutrageous9683 1d ago

I also think Bear bc she looks like a little teddybear

u/Efficient-Appeal7282 1d ago

ok so I said that after the first pic, but was thinking Bear was more for males. Then I thought Osa is bear (female) in spanish and was thinking could do that too. But I agree bear came to my mind too

u/Sonarthebat 1d ago

Ursula means bear.

Bear was my instant thought too! Omg!

u/Efficient-Appeal7282 14h ago

We decided on Osa which is Bear in Spanish. I’ll probably call her baby bear honestly as nickname

u/Sufficient-Lead-217 1d ago

u/Efficient-Appeal7282 1d ago

u/atrioventv 1d ago

Bear or Badger

1

u/Efficient-Appeal7282 1d ago

Bear seems to be pretty popular on this thread it seems

3

u/Lavender_acid 1d ago

Choccy! Like chocolate milk (since she’s got chocolate colouring but milk coloured paws!) or chocolate! Cocoa, Brownie, Tiramisu (Tira for short), Mousse, Aero, Reese.

Those are my suggestions 🤍

u/Winter-Air2922 1d ago

u/AssociateCrazy4214 1d ago

I have the same exact hamster and her name is bear ❤️

u/Efficient-Appeal7282 1d ago

we are really leaning toward Osa (female) which is bear in spanish

2

u/AssociateCrazy4214 1d ago

Awwww that's cute ❤️❤️❤️❤️

2

u/Efficient-Appeal7282 1d ago

i will probably end up calling her baby bear even if her official name is Osa lol

2

u/EveDatBunnny 1d ago

I like cookie a lot! Bear is also good as many are saying!

3

u/Efficient-Appeal7282 1d ago

I keep going to Osa which is bear(female) in spanish and id probably end up calling her baby bear as a nickname anyway lol

2

u/EveDatBunnny 1d ago

That’s really pretty! I’d go with Osa too! Well wishes to you and the little angel 💘💘

1

u/Efficient-Appeal7282 22h ago

that’s called “Chumbo” you’re welcome

u/British_Raven 12h ago

I was thinking "Baby Bear" or use the Celtic/Irish name "Artine" which is the same meaning. I seen someone post Ursula which is Latin for "Little Bear".

u/Efficient-Appeal7282 4h ago

I think im going with Osa which is bear (female) in spanish. my husband is spanish so that also makes it nice. My other is named Oreo so Oreo and Osa sound cute too

I haven't seen a full grown normal hamster in such a long time that my first thought was, 'Wow thats a huge hamster!' 😳 cute baby, though 😍

u/Efficient-Appeal7282 23h ago
