Funny names for a mustache itself, whether it is a Movember project, a costume prop or a permanent resident: slang like Soup Strainer and Cookie Duster, style names like Handlebar Hank and The Walrus, titles like Sir Whiskerton and puns like Secret Stache.

About mustache names

A new mustache changes a face enough that friends start talking to it directly, and at that point it needs a name. English already has a small stock of nicknames for one, mostly about what it catches at dinner: Soup Strainer, Cookie Duster, Crumb Catcher, Lip Sweater. That stock runs out after a few dozen terms, so most of this list is made up in the same spirit and should be read as jokes, not as established slang.

The names come in several styles. Some are built on the classic shapes, the handlebar, walrus, chevron, pencil and horseshoe, as in Handlebar Hank, The Walrus, Chevron Ron and Pencil Me In. Some treat the mustache as a person of rank who happens to live on your face: Sir Whiskerton, The Colonel, Duke of Upper Lip, Upstairs Neighbor. There are puns on stache, whisker, bristle and wax (Secret Stache, Whisker Business, Trim Reaper), plain old-fashioned first names like Reginald and Gus, and a set for the patchy early weeks of Movember, such as Work in Progress and Thirty Day Trial.

Whether you spell it mustache or moustache, everything here is clean, so the name can be said at work, at school pickup and on a fundraising page.

How to choose mustache names

  • Match the name to the shape. A curled one can be Sir Twirls-a-Lot or Handlebar None, a thick straight one is The Walrus, and a thin line suits The Hyphen or Pencil Pete.
  • For Movember, pick a name on day one and use it in your updates. "Week two with Work in Progress" gets more replies than a plain photo.
  • Let the name grow with it. Peach Fuzz can be promoted to Major Whiskers and then to The Magnum Opus as the month goes on.
  • A stick-on costume mustache deserves a name too. Stick-On Steve, The Disguise and Fake Glasses Included fit that job.
  • Try it in a sentence before you commit: "Careful, you will wake Reginald." If the people at the table laugh, keep it.

Frequently asked questions

What are some funny names for a mustache?

The classics are about food: Soup Strainer, Cookie Duster and Crumb Catcher. For something newer, try a pun such as Secret Stache, Mustache You a Question or Whisker Business, or a grand title such as Sir Whiskerton and Duke of Upper Lip.

Are these real slang terms for a mustache?

Only a small number are. Terms like Soup Strainer, Cookie Duster and Lip Sweater are in real use, and the style names handlebar, walrus, chevron, pencil and horseshoe are standard. Most of the other names are jokes invented for this list.

What should I call a Movember mustache?

Something that admits it is temporary usually lands best. Work in Progress, Thirty Day Trial, Gone by December and It's for Charity all fit a fundraising post. If the growth is thin, Peach Fuzz and Technically a Mustache tell the truth kindly.

Do the names work for the moustache spelling too?

Yes. Mustache is the usual American spelling and moustache the British one, and the jokes do not depend on either. A few entries use the longer spelling on purpose, such as Moustache Marvin and The Marvelous Moustache.
