About funny squirrel names

A squirrel gives you plenty to joke about: it hoards, it forgets where it buried things, it treats a bird feeder as a buffet and it commutes along the power line. This list of 500 turns those habits into names. The biggest group drops a squirrel word into a famous name or title: Johnny Cashew, Walnut Whitman, Justin Climberlake, Steph Scurry, Hoarder of the Rings and A Tail of Two Cities.

The second group gives the squirrel a job. A hoarder is a Director of Acorn Logistics, a Hedge Fund Manager or a Branch Manager, and a campus squirrel is a Tenured Professor or the Picnic Inspector. Feeder raiders get names such as Not a Bird and Dine and Dash, and the one that beat the baffle is Squirrel-Proof, They Said. The one in the roof is the Attic Tenant or the Eaves Dropper. Gardeners will recognize Tulip Bandit and One Bite Each.

The rest is mock heroics and deadpan. A small animal with a big tail carries a long title well, so there are names like Conqueror of the Squirrel-Proof Feeder and She Who Forgets, next to plain human names with a role attached, such as Gerald from Accounting. Every name is a joke, and all of it is written for a family audience.

How to choose funny squirrel names

Name the habit you actually see. The feeder raider is Baffle Beater or Free Refills, the digger in the planters is Flowerpot Excavator, and the one that runs the fence every morning is Daily Commuter.
Use the coat for the name puns. Alexander the Gray and Dorian Gray fit a gray squirrel, and Eric the Red fits a red one.
Long titles are for telling stories, not for calling out of the window. Keep Archduke Fuzzbert of Feederton for the photo caption and shorten it to Fuzzbert day to day.
Name the regulars as a set. Branch Manager, Regional Branch Manager and Senior Branch Associate cover three, and Savings Account, Retirement Fund and Rainy Day Fund cover three more.
Backyard and campus squirrels are wild animals, so the name is for your own amusement: watch them from a distance rather than trying to handle them.

Frequently asked questions

What are some funny names for a backyard squirrel?

Go with what it does in your yard. Not a Bird and Dine and Dash suit a feeder raider, and so does Squirrel-Proof, They Said. Tulip Bandit and Tomato Taster suit the one in the vegetable bed, and Power Line Commuter suits the daily fence runner. Job titles such as Director of Acorn Logistics and Bird Feeder Auditor work for any of them.

What are good pun names for a squirrel?

The strongest puns swap a nut, a tree or a squirrel habit into a familiar name: Johnny Cashew, Walnut Whitman, Gregory Pecan, Justin Climberlake, Tim Scurry and Forrest Stump. Titles work the same way, as in Hoarder of the Rings, The Nutcracker Suite and Acorn's Eleven.

What should I call the squirrel that lives in my attic or roof?

The list has a run of tenant jokes for it: Attic Tenant, Eaves Dropper, Loft Conversion, Pays in Acorns and Six A.M. Wake-Up Call. Behind on Rent and Zoning Violation carry the same joke a little further.

Are these names clean enough for a classroom or a kids' project?

Yes. The jokes are about acorns, hoarding, tails and bird feeders, the celebrity puns play on the name only, and nothing relies on rude double meanings. Names like Squirrel Scout, Tree-Rex and Captain Cheeks are easy for children to read and say.
