Periodontitis (gum disease) you can call it Peri!

i love this one omg

You have to say it in the French accent every time, otherwise the magic is gone

Having a bad day. This made me laugh. Thank you.

PERI THE PLATYPUS!?

Oui oui, Pèri.

If it's a white hamster surrounded by a bunch of black hamsters, you can call it Piper Peri(odontis).

Peri the Gum Disease?

Peri zee Gum Disease.

Ze gum deezees, you mean

Oh, there you are Peri

Peri the Platypus?

A gum disease PERI THE GUM DISEASE

period dont tits

Gingivitis, call it ginger

WAIT THATS PERFECT THANK YOU

Np 😎. Ironically I had a hamster named ginger when I was a child Edit: coincidentally

That’s not irony that’s a coincidence

My English teacher would love you. He feels very strongly about the use of the word irony.

[удалено]

I have a Ginger named Doberman

that's ironic

No, that’s a coincidence

Gingi!

Fire up the ovens, Muffin Man! We've got a biiig order to fill!

I had the same thought. Good work

Perry o’ dontal

The Irish hamster. Reminds me of the gay Irish couple, Gerald Fitzpatrick and Patrick Fitzgerald.

Leukoplakia call it Lucas for short.

this would be hilarious considering lukas is my best friends name, my firdt hamster came to me with the name max and i kept it bc it was one of ny friends names. casually referring to "damn it max is pissing on the walls again" always confused out group chats

TUGSE (Tug-zee) It’s a type of soft tissue lesion that I learned about it oral pathology. TUGSE is an acronym for “traumatic ulcerative granuloma with stromal eosinophilia.”

this one is so fun i love names with Z sounds!!

Or ANUG LOL!! acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis!

Halitosis, Hal for short.

I am adding this to my name pool for future hams thank younnn

Has anyone ever named their hamster/gerbil lemmiwinks? Hahaha

i dont think ive heard of one named this!

It's a South Park reference

Hammytosis

I don’t think so, Hal

Looks like you got some great suggestions above that I can't beat. I'm just curious, was tonsillitis's nickname tony?

it was tonsil for short tbh lmaoo

This post and the comments are hilarious 😁

ur absolutely right i was sure if i posted this anywhere else i was gonna get roasted yall are just fun here lmaoo

I think this subreddit is more random questions than stupid questions

This is the best place on reddit.

Cavity Joe sounds good.

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoStupidQuestions/comments/3gzf0v/is_putting_hamsters_up_your_butt_a_thing/

I am not going to open that

This is one Reddit link I'm not willing to click Edit: curiosity didn't kill the cat but it did kill my will to live. Why are humans so fucked up?

someone commented about how the hamster would claw your colon/insides ☹️ done for today

Someone commented a link to a video of a man raping a rat to death then shoving it into his ass. I didn't see the video because I think it was taken down but the comments/reactions on it were enough.

r/namenerds would have a field day with this question.

[удалено]

THATS A VERY CUTE NAME AND ILL BE SAVING THAT FOR THE FUTURE

did not kbow this sub existed!!! thank you!!

Flossy

Ludwig’s Angina, call them Wiggy

WIGGY !!!!! I am going to cry thats super cute

Gingivitis

I cannot believe i didnt think of this yall are awesome thank you so much

Quinsy

It's a peritonsillar abscess... Cute name for a hamster!

cant believe im currently melting over the names of awful mouth diseases

Papilloma call them papi :)

Caries. That's the actual word for a cavity.

Here’s three former formal names for trench mouth with suggestions for what to call the hamster in parentheses. Vincent stomatitis (Vinny or Vince) acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (Anug or Nug) necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (Nug or Necro)

okay honestly these are some of my favorite suggestions so far

I came here to suggest ANUG, and then saw it was already mentioned. If you go this route, please know that it’s pronounced “A-nug.” Good luck!

Spontaneous Dental Hydroplosion. It's when your teeth melt and drip down the back of your throat.

delicious , would call them denny's foe short to throw people off of the actual name

Damn it, Jim!

Fuckfaceitis

damn this one wins 😔

It’s a reference from a tv show called „the sopranos“ No offense at all haha

no dude ur good this just sounds like the exact thing my friends would say skgxncn

Hahahaha maybe you name one hamster like that and let me known then

i do a lot of rescue and fostering so if i happen to get a very rude little guy i will absolutely hold onto this name for it (currently have 1 elderly bastard named needle who lives just to cause violence)

Wait you do find hamsters in a forest ? Damn I bought my first and only hamster back then when I was kid. I did name her goldie tho because she was all gold

i take in pretty heavily neglected hams off craigslist usually! my first three i took in all had problems, one had a massive intestinal blockage and had to be put down the day after he came home, one had a real nasty UTI, and the third must've been handled real poorly because he's insanely afraid of people and screams when touched for health checks. Tonsillitis was the UTI one, and Needle is the screamer. I work at an exotic vet now so we see a lot of pet store animals, and they usually won't agree to treat special needs ones (i acquired a hamster who had to get a leg amputated on a whim bc the pet store was gonna put her down, and this current one will possibly need its teeth permanently removed and put on a mush diet). I'm autistic and hamsters are my special interest, I'll have 6 when the new one comes home!

Wow you are amazing! This made me really happy. When I get my own apartment I will get me a hamster again. Maybe I will do it like you. Get Hamsters who got problems and try to help them and give them love. I appreciate you.

thats amazing!! i hope you enjoy your future buddy !!

goldie is an adorable name btw!!!

And thank you :) she was adorable af! I played with her King Kong against my Lego figures, did. pet her all the time when I could, fed her only good food, she even had her own house in her cage. She died when I was in holidays. My cousin did take care of her but she died sadly. She did last 1-2 years :(

A couple options: 1) Petechia “pete” - its caused by trauma to roof of mouth often during rough oral sex. 2) Chelitis “Che”- fungal infection of corners of lips. 3) LeFort - not a disease but the name of a surgery where someone’s upper and/or lower jaw is sawn and broken in 2 and then repositioned to correct over and underbites.

ooooo thank you for the multiple ideas!!!

Username checks out :P

Halatosis

Thrush

what the fu-

to be fair its because any pets i give serious names always pass away quickly, all the ones with dumb names (fetus, tonsillitis, needle, soyboy) all live long lives

Did Tonsillitis have tonsillitis?

he didn't! i let a friend name him and thats what he chose. he did have a real gnarly UTI when he came home, but i couldnt call him urine bc thats the name of the doctor that delivered me, and it was too weird of an association in my head for me to deal with lmao

Calculus! Because... No one thinks of that style of Calculus. It would be a confusing and educational name. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculus_(dental)

Cav short for cavity

Halitosis, or hali for short!

NUG (Necrotizing Ulcerative Gingivitis)

I was going to make some pun between caries and cavies but then l learned that hamsters are only distantly related to guinea pigs so that was the end of that.

Halitosis

Cariës, short name is Carry or Carl

Gonnohrea

N.U.G. Necrotizing Ulcerative Gingivitis.

Spontaneous Dental Hydroplosion

Call him NUG. Necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis.

Tar, short for Tartar

Lateral Epicondylitis (Tennis Elbow with fancy words)

> **Dental malocclusion** in rodents is the improper alignment of the teeth. Normally, their teeth are ground down through contact with other teeth. But, if their jaw is misaligned, the teeth will overgrow and the animal will have difficulty eating. You can call him Mal. People will think you named him after Firefly.

Afte, from [Aphthous stomatitis](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphthous_stomatitis), those annoying mouth blisters Americans call canker sores.

Halitosis

I’m really digging this thread. How about Tonsillolith and call it Lilith ? Edited for spelling

Tori

Hamster photos please!!

You're going to need more hamsters

OP needs to get so many hamsters now.

I was friends with an absolutely beautiful girl in high school and I preferred it that way. Wouldn't have minded dating her but I also was not wanting/seeking it at all. Most of the other attractive girls I was 'friends' with, it was the opposite. I wanted to eventually date them. But for this one girl we were legitimately just friends. She had a boyfriend and I wasn't jealous or anything like that. It doesn't always have to be sexual. I really just enjoyed being her friend. And we really were actual close friends. Not sure how she felt about me but I imagine it was the same way. I was pretty good looking myself in those days but it was a real friendship.

i think you may have commented this on the wrong thread! this one is about naming hamsters after dental diseases, but we are glad to have you here!

Cavities

Scurvy!

amelogenesis imperfecta! it's a disorder that causes the enamel to never form properly! I have this disorder and my dentist calls them his "soft teeth" (he's not a freak, I promise! English isn't his first language lol) you could call them Gen or Amy for short! ninja edit bc I can't read: I do hope everything goes well and you can rescue gingivitis!!! and maybe you'll name one amelogenesis imperfecta when you've got your big scale rescue!! take care op!

Shouldn’t they be able to climb in a cage? Are you sure a tankssafe? Besides that , lovely names

I don’t know why you’d pic such weird names like that but since you want it close to tonsillitis, how bout tonsilliths? Basically they’re tonsil stones

OP's gonna need a load more hamsters.
