Guinea pigs are among the most popular pets in Germany. It goes without saying that the four-legged friend, like other animals, should also be given a name - males should be given a strong name, females a particularly sweet one. Finding a name is not always easy. We have therefore compiled a list of cute female guinea pig names for you.

In a nutshell

  • endless choice
  • more freedom than other pets
  • Name by looks, character, food, celebrity or classic

Appropriate names for guinea pigs

Since the name of guinea pigs, unlike dogs, is not associated with a specific action, you can be more free when choosing a name. Vowels or pronunciation don't matter. Also, since you don't have to call guinea pigs in public, choosing a name can be more creative. For example, you can name your favorite according to the following criteria:

  • race
  • gender
  • Look
  • character
  • meal
  • animals
  • celebrities

The only thing you might want to consider is the number of guinea pigs. If you keep two animals, pair names such as Pünktchen and Anton are suitable, the same applies to entire groups. Perhaps you will also find the names for your best guinea pig friends among the names?

Name by appearance or character

  • adventure
  • Amy (girlfriend)

Culinary inspiration

But not only the preferences of the guinea pig can be decisive for the choice of the name, your own preferences can also be a source of ideas. So it's quite common to name guinea pigs after food. These names are mostly independent of gender:

  • After Eight
  • amarena
  • Blueberry
  • brownie
  • cappuccino
  • Camilla
  • candy
  • caramel
  • carmen
  • Cherry
  • clementine
  • cookie
  • kiwi
  • crumbs
  • Peck
  • Lemon
  • Milka
  • peaches
  • Pepper
  • Pepsi
  • piccolo
  • sushi
  • chocolate
  • quince
  • vanilla
  • whiskey
Food can not only be fed, but also inspire a guinea pig name.

If you love it very unusual, you can also give your little one a different animal name. You read that right! What are they supposed to be, you ask?

  • Little bear
  • bee
  • Bunny
  • bunny
  • kitty
  • humming-bird
  • little mouse
  • panda
How about "panda" as a name for this cute guinea pig?

frequently asked Questions

Can I change my guinea pig's name?

Yes this is not a problem. Unlike dogs, guinea pigs usually do not recognize their names. So they don't care about a name change.

Can I also give my guinea pig an English name?

Of course. Everything that pleases is allowed.

Can I also choose a long name?

Yes. Since the name isn't used to make the pet react quickly to a situation (like dogs in the park), it doesn't matter how long it is.
