Unlike most breeders I name all my mice, I find its a good way for me to keep track of individuals and most of them are named after their parents so also keep track of lines too.

 

[Anne]

mine are

Agoutipigen (means the agouti girl) pied Agouti
Chokolademusen (meaning the chocolate mouse), chokolate satin
Siam, siamese
Burma, burmese
Suppemusen (meaning "the soup-mouse", due to she has a colour that cant be defined, and in ferrets that is called a "soup-ferret")

Borring names :lol:

[Galaxy]

Its interesting the names that we call them and where we get our inspiration from!

 

[Anne]

The next mouse I am getting home is called Demi. Because it should be a D name, and that was what came to my mind.

 

[wildrose]

Named my first blue mouse Alaska and her future babies will be named after cities in Alaska... Juno, Anchorage, etc. It was actually my fiance's idea. He's from Alaska and its "his" mouse (aka I take care of it and he just likes looking lol)

 

[m137b]

I love hearing animal names, some are very interesting. Worked for a vet a while back and one client's dog was named Cheese.

I used to name every adult, but in the past couple years I've slacked off and tend to just name the old guys and gals, and until then I tend to remember them by what they are not who they are.

Some of the ones I can remember, but I know there have been more:
Hi Fi, Bella, Bonnet, Rattat, Sim, Sam, Moe, Morris, Merlin, Vergo, Vinny, Virtue, Lovey, Dovey, Foxey, Roxey, Ether, Snickers, Skittles, Creme, Faty, Tuff, Tug, Tibs, Uesugi, Tori, Usagi, Shine, Slicka, Sleuth, LaVine, LaRoux, Roux, Obsidian, Onyx, Sapphire, Indigo, Sai, Ki, Geo, Reo, Neo, Feo, Leo, Teo, Zeo[yes the e-ohs were one litter], Baluu, Tarzan, Wild Thing, Agadora, Agatha, Oppossum, Uta, Ume, Skunk and Spunky, Ducky, Cotton, Q-Tip, Caps, Pumpkin, Goldie, Shimmer, Apricot, Trixie, Big Mamma, Dusty, Gelb, Ebony[who was a really dingy black], Fuzz, Pinky, and Skitter.

Cool names, m137b! I had a dark grey semi long haired cat named Yoghurt & a red & white guinea-pig named Cherry-whip!

Got some more babies today so going to name them soon too. I only keep mice for pets so obviously they all have to have names

[Anubis]

I use this site http://www.lowchensaustralia.com/names.htm
it is THE best site i found and i use it all the time.
I like to use Egyptian/Gods/Goddesses names the most - Hence Anubis (although it's meaning isn't the most desirable :lol: )

 

[Galaxy]

Its memorable tho, Anubis!

 

[zany_toon]

[Galaxy]

Reading these names reminds me of the names I had forgotten I'd used. But the names I tend to choose are either food or plants. I had a syrian hamster called Calypso because her fur was so vividly coloured and she reminded me of a carnival. I had a buck who if he could he would of had a top hat and walking cane and I called him Dandy.

 

[Bella791]

My past mice were called:
Carrie, Charlotte, Dawn, Mimi and one un named.
Current ones are called Nyx, Neferet and Kalona out of the House of Night book series

 

[Galaxy]
