72 Cute and Funny Guinea Pig Names
Need a Name for Your New Guinea Pig?
So you are getting a guinea pig? You must be squealing just like one with excitement! Who wouldn’t at the news that you are getting one of the cutest, cuddliest, and most lovable little fuzzy animals alive?
Guinea pigs make wonderful pets and are low maintenance. They do not require a whole lot of space, their housing requirements are minimal, and it's a lot of fun to build them a little play area! They enjoy the company of other guinea pigs and really form a bond with their owners. You will love them for their entire five-to-seven-year lifespan, and they'll love you right back.
Don't have any idea what to name the little critter? Meeting your match at the pet store is the easy part, but giving it a name might not be so easy. If you are lucky, the name will just come to you as soon as you choose which one to take home. Most are not that lucky, and, therefore, need to do a little research.
To make this matter a little easier, I have compiled a list of the best names that I could find or think of. Scroll down to find different names in separate categories.

Consider Its Personality and Appearance
There are plenty of names to choose from, and hopefully you have already found one you like by this point, but if you haven't, not to worry!
Whether you have a male or female guinea pig, try assessing its personality and outer appearance to help you pick a name.
- Does it run to you right away, or is it still a bit skittish?
- Is it loud, or does it make little noise?
- What color is it and what “hairstyle” does it have?
Answering these questions can help when deciding between two or three names, too.
Let Your Guinea Pig Help Decide
Still don’t have a name? I’m a fan of letting my animals help in this process just because I am so indecisive when it comes to these things, not to mention the silly memories that it makes. There are a couple of ways a guinea pig can “help” choose a name.
- If you have an outgoing piggy, have a few friends sit in a circle, assign a name to each person, and place the guinea pig in the middle. The guinea pig takes on the name of the person it goes to first!
- Write different names on a few index cards and place them around the room with some guinea pig food; you can even do this in the cage if it’s big enough. Whichever card it eats off first is the name that the guinea pig chooses! Easy, right? I think so!
Whatever you do to figure out the guinea pig’s name, have fun with it!

Helpful 347What are your pet Guinea pigs named?
I don't have them any longer, but the ones I've had in the past were named Chuckles, Sausage, Cookies, and Meatball.
Helpful 148Can I use a human weight measure for my guinea pig?
I'm not a veterinarian, so I can't give you health tips for your pets, but when it comes to weight, a human scale should work as long as it can measure a small enough weight. You might have better luck with a kitchen scale, but make sure your parents help you, and you clean it well after using it. I'd suggest putting some plastic wrap over the top of the scale. You may also need to use a glass bowl as your guinea pig may not sit still long enough to weigh it properly. I hope this helps.
