Picking a great name can be one of the most enjoyable aspects to getting a new chinchilla. There are literally thousands of options out there, so how do you know what the perfect name for your chin will be? Ultimately, only you can decide the best name, so here's 2 ideas to get your mind headed in the right direction.

Idea #1: Name him by looks

So your chinchilla is a small, furry creature, that has arguably the softest fur out of any other creature on the planet. Because of their popularity as pets they have been bred to be many different colors, which could give you a good idea for a name. Take a good look at your chin and see if he has any unique markings in his fur or skin. Look all around his body for something that makes him different from the average chinchilla. If he is a pretty unique color you could name him after something with the same color, like Mocha or Sandy. Maybe he looks a little like a movie character and you could name him something like Chewy after Star Wars. Or if he's a little fatter than all the chins you've seen pick a name like Chubbs or Roundy. Anything that describes what your chinchilla looks like makes a great name.

Idea #2: Pick a name that describes your chinchillas actions

Chinchilla's are known to be energetic and quite playful. Some can also be a little lazy and laid back. Any name that describes his character or actions makes a cool chinchilla name. If your chin is always active and running frantically everywhere you could name him Speedy or Spazz. Maybe your chinchilla is a fan of jumping and climbing over everything so you would name him Spunky or Pogo. If your chinchilla is a little on the lethargic side you could name him Slowmo or Lazy Bones. Another good name for a particularly strong willed chinchilla is Feisty. Find a good descriptive word that fits your chin and you could have the perfect name.

The choices really are endless but if you use your imagination and keep your mind open you're sure to find a good name that fits your chinchilla perfectly. Remember too that you can take your time in naming him, so don't feel rushed! And if something doesn't quite feel right a little down the road, you can always change his name to something that fits better.
