Do hamsters learn their names?
if not, you could call him a new name everyday, just post this list on his cage, and pick at random, depending on your mood:)
I like your names
Chewy :)

Some people say that their hamster learned its name. I don't think Hammie ever did. I wasn't consistent enough with treats I think. Plus, hamsters are pretty stupid animals. LOL
Hammie used to run back and forth doing the same thing over and over again because he forgot what he was doing before.

well, they're about the size of a good baked potato!
I thought of a lot of food names too

you can name him after your favorite neurotransmitters/medications.
Prozac?
Lamictal?
Norepinephrine (Neffy)?
Xanax?haha
Or you can just name him Psycho-Babble
:o)

Deneb,
if you watched me today, you would conclude the same thing. I run back and forth. I repeat myself. I had a conversation today where I apparently said something, and I had no recollection. My coworkers turned to me and said "tell me more about X" I was like "X? who mentioned X?" "You did!" "I did?!?" and so on.I walk into a room to tell someone something, or to fetch something. Then I get confused- wait? what was going on. So I go back to my desk. Then I remember what it was, so ... repeat from beginning of paragraph
I think I'm going to bed early tonight
I can't stand to be conscious with me any longer.

I'm really pleased you liked the name

But be careful with call names. I can only imagine what would happen in *this* house, with a chronic name twister, and a ten year old boy.
