Hi, I just got my kids a new guinea pig and we were looking for a new name. We already have a guinea pig that is all white except for his head, and it's brown and tan. His name is Buddy. Yesterday we got a new like addition and he is still a baby and tiny. He is light brown with a little tan mixed in. They both have the shaggy hair I think they're called Abyssinian. They are not short hair. We need a name for this new little cutie. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Welcome to the forum. How about Buster. Buddy and Buster. I was going to say the same thing; I wanted the name for our most recent pig, but my daughter wanted the name Murphy, so I relented. Buster is a superb name.  |

Buster is good. I like Bob too.
I'd also be tempted to call him Mugatu after Will Ferrell's character in Zoolander - he also plays Buddy in Elf, hence the connection! Both those films make me laugh like a drain so I'd be happy to be reminded of them numerous times a day!
Oh and a warm welcome to Wheekers!

Thanks for all the great names! We are still deciding. It took my kids several days to decide with our first guinea pig though, lol. I would add a picture, but I'll have to figure out how to do it.

I would tell you to get a Photobucket account, and post your pictures there. They used to be one of the best ways to manage pictures so you could post them here. There is a thread about it in our Rules section. I currently use Photobucket, and they are so spammed with out of control ads, I can't get to my pictures. Also, in the upper right corner of each post is an Add Attachment button you can select to add a photo. I think there may be other ways, but I'm kind of a computer dinosaur, so Bean and some others can tell you about those It's totally reasonable to take some time to decide how different names fit the pigs. Sometimes, I keep the name the rescue gave the pig, as it fits them, and the pig is used to that name. Yes, they do learn their names, and can learn other things, too. Keep the words simple, and the pigs will learn what your words mean. |

I've posted this before, hope this helps:  But as 3Piggles mentioned, you need a place to upload pictures first. |
