Baby hamster needs a name

 

I got my hamster, and she is a doll!

Mimi who?

She loves her princess castle. She got in, looked around, had a snack, and promptly burrowed into her bedding and fell fast asleep. She lets me hold her, and she doesn’t run away from me, unlike somebody I used to know. I can tell we’re going to be good friends.

The only problem is that I can’t decide on a name. Mimi’s name just sort of came to me, but usually it takes me days to decide on a pet’s name. My mother suggested “Pudge Brownie”. Kurt came up with “Little Rotundus”. I don’t want to give her an inferiority complex, so I’d like to stay away from names that reference her pulchritude.

Here are the names I like, in no particular order: Lupita, Olive, Alice, Harriet, Sally, Dottie, Cosita (“little thing” in Spanish), and Eloise. As you can tell, I put as much thought into naming my pets as most people do when naming human children. But I’m so indecisive! I need help!

What shall I name her? Suggestions and comments would be most appreciated.

    I love the name Lupita! She looks so inquisitive in the first photo. I'm glad you found someone to replace Mimi--that ingrate. The Clothes Horse’s last blog post..Satisfying Your Curiosity

    AhhhH! This is more like it! I love hamsters. I wanted one but the boy took me to the pet shop and i squealed like a baby when it ran around on my hand. I couldn't handle it! Have you seen the hamster eating broccoli on Youtube? It's pretty cute. ondressingup’s last blog post..seeing ghosts
