They are one of the most popular and cutest pets - guinea pigs. Once they were called overseas, since they were imported into the country from overseas, because the ancestors of guinea pigs are from Peru. If you decide to have this fluffy, unpretentious animal at home, think of a name for it in advance: pigs live for about 7-8 years and during this time they become real family members. How to choose a name for a guinea pig, for example, a boy, a male?
Instructions
Step 1
You can take advantage of the experience of many breeders and just call the pig one of their popular names: Stepa, Ryzhik, Piggy or Fluff. The names, of course, are good, but they are too common. It will be much better if you show your imagination and choose a rare and original nickname for your pet.
Step 2
For example, you can recall the "overseas roots" of the animal and call the pig Kui - it is under this name that it was first mentioned in the works of European scientists. Mumps were also known as measles (a word possibly of Antillean origin).
Step 3
The adjective "marine" in the name of the animal suggests a marine name for it. Pirate, Captain, Boatswain, Cock - these are not all such names that you can think of for a pet.
Step 4
In addition, the animal can be named according to the features of its appearance and character. For example, if the male has a dark color, then the name Moor or Othello is quite suitable for him. A redhead can be called Orange, Freckle, etc. If the animal is rather plump, then why not give it the name Sandwich or Cutlet? An active and lively pet can be called Zhivchik or Sprinter, brooding and calm - a Philosopher, Nietzsche or Kant.
Step 5
The name for a guinea pig can be found in books, computer games, films - it is possible that your pet is somewhat similar to one of the heroes, or you just like this or that character. So you can have Harry, Porthos, Watson and so on.
Step 6
If you have a hobby or favorite profession, remember any sonorous word from this area. You can call a pig, for example, Bow or Kettlebell. Sounds good, and it’s unlikely that you’ll see a name like that on anyone else.
Step 7
Another good option is to entrust the choice of a name for a boy guinea pig to a child. True, it is quite possible that later, for the sake of children's imagination, you will then have to call the animal Dragon, Prince or even Tyrannosaurus.
