Funny hamster names from end to end: puns like Abrahamster Lincoln, Hamry Potter and Hamsterpiece Theatre, tiny tough-guy names like Tank and Final Boss, cheek jokes like Carry-On Luggage and titles like His Royal Tinyness.

About funny hamster names

The word hamster does a lot of the work. Ham slides into famous names (Abrahamster Lincoln, Hamry Potter, Hamdalf the Grey, Neil Hamstrong), and hamster stands in for master and monster, which gives you Hamsterpiece Theatre, Dungeon Hamster, Cookie Hamster and Hamsters Inc. About a quarter of the list is built this way, and it was written apart from the puns on this site's main hamster page.

The rest comes from what hamsters do. They pack food into their cheek pouches and carry it off to a stash: Carry-On Luggage, Snack Smuggler, Retirement Fund. They are most active at night and will run for hours: Third Shift, 3 A.M. Cardio, Wheel of Misfortune. They are well known for getting out of cages: Flight Risk, Last Seen Tuesday, Hamdini. They also rebuild the nest whenever you tidy it, hence Redecorating Again and Demolition Crew.

Size is the last joke. A very small animal is funnier with a very large name, so there are tough-guy picks like Tank, Brutus, Final Boss and Two Ounces of Trouble, and pompous titles such as His Royal Tinyness, Chief Seed Officer and Sir Hoards-a-Lot. Deadpan names like Tax Guy Tim and Not a Mouse finish the list. Many hamster owners are children, so every name here is clean.

How to choose funny hamster names

Watch your hamster for a few evenings first. The one that lives on the wheel is Cardio King or Lap Leader, the one with full cheeks is Cheek Storage, and the one testing the lid is Flight Risk.
Put the biggest names on the smallest animals. Juggernaut, Apex Predator and The Intimidator are funniest on a dwarf hamster.
Keep a short call name behind a long pun. Wolfgang Hamadeus Mozart becomes Wolfie, and Archibald Cheeksworth III is Archie at treat time.
If a child is choosing, offer puns on things they already know, such as Hamry Potter, Cookie Hamster, Hamta Claus or Hamderella. Portfolio Manager is a joke for the grown-ups.
Naming two hamsters in separate cages? Match them: Night Shift and Third Shift, Cardio King and Cardio Queen, or Hamry Styles and Hamry Potter.

Frequently asked questions

What are some funny names for a hamster?

For puns, try Abrahamster Lincoln, Jon Hamster, Hamdre 3000, Hamsterpiece Theatre or The Notorious Ham. For jokes about behavior, Carry-On Luggage, Wheel of Misfortune, 3 A.M. Cardio and Last Seen Tuesday are all in the list. Tank, Brutus and Final Boss cover the tiny tough guys.

What are good ham puns for a hamster name?

Swap ham into a name that has a similar sound: Hamrison Ford, Hamjamin Franklin, Hammy Davis Jr., Louis Hamstrong and Hamgrid. Place names work too, such as New Hampster, Hamhattan and Buckinghamster Palace. Words with master or monster in them give Hamstermind, Quizhamster and Loch Ness Hamster.

What is a funny name for a tiny or dwarf hamster?

Ironic names get the biggest laugh: Goliath, Mammoth, Juggernaut, Heavyweight Champ or Apex Predator. If you would rather admit the size, Pocket Hercules, Pint Size Brute, Travel Size Terror and Tiny but Mighty say it up front.

How is this different from the hamster name generator?

The main hamster name generator is mostly cute, food and classic pet names with a few puns. This page is jokes only, written as a separate list. Use both if you want a sweet name for one hamster and a silly one for the next.
