Let's see...I have had a total of 12 chins..so here's my list.

Neeko-standard- I had his name picked out before I even got a chin...just thought it was cute.
Roo-tan- He always popcorned over anything and everything..he hopped so much and he's a tan..so KangaROO.
Smudge-white eb- When I got him, he was all white except for a black smudge mark on his head.
Koda- black velvet- his name means black bear, and he looked like a little baby bear cub.
Mako- violet- he was silver like the Mako shark, and Ash came up with his name..I liked it, so it stuck.
Kuma-beige/violet- another bear name, Kuma is japanese for bear. He was a baby when I got him, and I seem to think babies look like bear cubs!
Felix-ebony- means Lucky, and Felix was an abused rescue so it fit.
Moose-brown velvet- he has a chunky butt and he's brown...and went along with..
Bear-ex. dark eb- another bear name..but this time it's just Bear! & You can guess why..he looks like a baby bear cub!
Bostin-pink/white- just liked the name Bostin for a chinnie. He looks like a Bostin..couldn't imagine him having another name!
Harley-mosaic- I let my boyfriend pick a name, we were driving and saw a bunch of Harley motorcycles driving by..Harley stared right out the window at them, so the name stuck with him.
Diesel-mosaic- he's a big chunky chin, and reminded me of a big diesel truck. He's also white and black, the color of diesel smoke.

Whew..there's all of my clan, alive and passed on.
 
Lily- because I thought it was cute. I added Bean on later because all of her constant popcorning reminds me of Mexican jumping beans.

Donna- my boyfriend named her after his dead cat...

Pythagoras- as in a2+b2=c2 the only explanation is that my boyfriend is a nerd...

Needless to say the boyfriend has lost naming privileges of future chinnies :)
 
I agree! The first thing that pops in your head is the best thing to name them.
And even if you decide something else, you'll keep wanting to call them the original name haha. I saw mine and it reminded me of a MUUUCH cuter version of those creepy 1990's toys, the Furbies. I guess it was his big ears and how he was sitting. But I couldn't stop calling him Furby. So, yep.
