I just got my 4th (and probably last-I say that now) chinchilla on Sunday. I want a good name for him. Just trying to get some extra ideas!

I want his name to be someone in music, or something to do with music. My other three are Nash, Graham, and Simon. So a name thbat goes along those lines would be awesome! Thanks!!:)
 
Jim/Jimi/Jimmy = Morrison, Hendrix, and Page all at once. Also Paul McCartney's actual first name is James, but his father was also James, so they called him by his middle name (Paul) to differentiate.
 
Keep the ideas comin! Now that I have 4 I wish I would have gone with Crosby Stills Nash and Young! But I started with 1. Just one....which became 2 just 2. Then 3, now 4. I'm hopeless. Lol

I need to get on here from my comp so I can put pictures on. I'm doing it from my phone. I can email pictures though. Are any of you good with colors? I've asked 3 people and none of their answers match. I have no clue what color my new guy really is. He's a pet store chin. The others are from a breeder. I just saw him at a pet store and I couldn't resist. I think part of it was because his color wasn't something I knew...and part was because he was so tiny and the cage was pathertic and I couldn't watch him grow up in there....that's a whole other issue.. anyway anyone good w colors? I need ur help! Haha
 
That's kinda funny. My sister was naming names from The Little Rascals tonight. That woulda been a cute idea too...4 chins ago!
 
i like to see the chin and get to know his personality a bit before naming him.
if you have a music theme going, then you need to think of the artists & bands you like.
something will pop up, it always does!
 
I think "Stills" would go great with the rest of the names you have. Maybe Dylan or Costello?
 
Sammy ! love that name

Just rename them. I mean, most chinchillas aren't like dogs and don't come to their name. Honestly, I have so many different nick names for my chin, Chloe, there's no way she knows her name. Just that I'm talking to her in a silly voice.
 
oorrr maybe turn Simon into Stephen and name the new one Stills...so you'll have two full names of the band!! Or name the new one the last name of whatever Simon you named your other chin after (if you named it after a person)
 
How about Bing? (I know, different Crosby, but I think it's a cute name. :p)
 
I named Simon from Simon&Garfunkel. Paul Simon. Paul...naa... and I liked Garfunkel but not I don't so much. I like the idea of stephen and stills, but stephen is a common person name...like paul.

Bing is cute!

Simon seems to know his name....maybe it's the way I say 'come here simon' though. Oh what to do what to do!

I like Bing and Hendrix a lot. You guys are awesome at this! Keep em comin tho! So far he's just the 'little baby' I'll try to put some pics on tonight!:)
 
Slick. (As in, Grace Slick) For when he grows up to be a debonair Fabio type chinnie.

WE BUILT THIS CITY...ON ROCK & ROLL!! Hahahaha poor Gracie, she was great but that is one of the songs that sticks in my head that she sings because it was such a horrible song...but it makes me giggle because it was so 80's. But I really do like her and like the name Slick as well.

How about naming your chin after a song title or character instead of a musician? It just might give you more options. Example: I met a man who named his daughter Althea after the Greatful Dead song. Although, I guess that's kind of human-sounding too. Hhhmmmm...I gotta look at my itunes.

J. Geils
You could get a boy and then name it Sue!!
Donovan
Billie Jean (if you're an MJ fan)
Little Wing--kinna cutesy but I aways loved that song (Hendrix)
Leroy Brown, if it's a bad chinnie hahaha (Jim Croce)
Bennie (Elton John)
Mr. Fantasy (Traffic)
Casey Jones (Dead)
Bungalo Bill (Beatles)
Fitzgerald (as in Ella but it sounds like a male name)
Mr. Mustard (Beatles)
Ziggy Stardust (Bowie)


I left out the usual name titles songs like Melissa, Maggie, Maggie May, blah blah. And my itunes doesn't even begin to cover it. I originally had a huge list then realized you said you got a male...
 
Hmm....maybe sting? I named my dwarf rabbit "Lil John!" like the rapper....;) so I can relate w/the music thing....but my chins are named after my favorite hockey players, Sidney (as in crosby) and Fleury (as in Marc-Andre). I like Sting though....Marley is a good name too....Oasis....Kajagoogoo....Lynyrd....Freddy or Mercury.....Just sum options for u! Please let us know what u decide though!
