Naming Your Mouse
Naming any new pet is an important process. Whether you’re planning on training your pet or simply plan on lots of chilling out together, finding an appropriate name and sticking with it is essential.
When it comes to naming a new pet, consistency is key!
That being said, naming can be a fun bonding experience for you and your new pet.
Inspiration For Great Mice Names
Sometimes, prospective owners can take one look at the pet in question, and be struck by some physical feature, an apparent personality quirk, or even the animal’s “vibe.” It’s easy to move on from there.
However, if you find yourself struggling to find a good mouse name, we’re here to help!
Deciding on an appropriate name for one pet can be intimidating enough. But since mice are often adopted or bought in pairs or small groups, it can be especially useful to field some outside suggestions.
Fortunately, we have found many avenues to help us discover some good ideas for pets.
Pet Features
You’re very likely going to take in either a pair or group of pet mice. Most of the names in this article are more on the simple, even cutesy side. This is partially with respect to their small size and playful nature. And they also are names that work well together!
There is another consideration, too. While giving any pet an elaborate, even antiquated name can be appealing, this probably would not be practical for a group of mice! Whenever we do step into more formal names in this article, it stems from certain “cool” attributes of pet mice.
For starters, mice are very intelligent creatures. They also love to play and explore their surroundings. Their playfulness is shown through their abundant curiosity. Additionally, mice are nocturnal, which absolutely lends itself to some unique name ideas.
Finally, we have suggestions based on appearance (particularly mice with white coats), names taken from famous mice characters in cartoons and similar media, and finally, a host of names for pairs of mice.
Now, let’s get naming!
Cute Mice Names
Pet mice are small, lively creatures who love to socialize and play with others of their kind. While there are conditions to the last part of that statement, we take inspiration from their general reputation as social animals.
Also, while the ideas in both our “cool” and “funny” category lists may work well with pets that are grown-up enough to show some of their own personality, “cute” names may work best when looking for good baby mouse names.
Whatever way you look at it, these little guys definitely position themselves for cute mouse names!

While flipping through some chip board sheets I had stored on edge out side, I disturbed a mouse in his nest. He had built a minimal nest in a cutout in one of the sheets. I surprised him and he didn’t know where to go. He fell between the chip board sheets and I tried to keep them from crushing him. He was on the ground and I think unconscious. I picked him up and took him inside and put him in a cage. He was breathing with difficulty but eventually recovered and today is again normal. He likes to sleep on top of his mouse house between the layers of an old piece of blanket. I named him Dudley

I found my mouse as a baby on the floor of a feed supply store. I brought her home in one hand, while driving with the other hand. I named her Zippy because she liked to zoom around her cage so often. She lived to be 3.5 years old. Sadly she just passed this morning.
I have two mice, one is a female named Marble, and the other one we don’t know if it’s a boy or not. But we named it lunar.
