I just typed in baby names on google and searched through loads until i found some i liked  :P
Or get a magazine or newspaper and look through it everyones names and see what ones you like :)
Or think of people you really like or admire and choose their names or versions of their names  :)
Good luck Lols

We have 4 chipmunks at present. The first one was named snuggles because for the first few days we had him all he did was snuggle up in his nest box (my wife named him). The second two are called ash and cloud because we were to collect them on our way home from manchester airport after a family holiday and we where delayed by the ash cloud (I named them). My son patrick named our 4th one coconut because (can u guess why ? ) yes he his white.

I was actually named because a cleaner at the hospital said that Timur would be a nice name and then they changed it to Timor. I have a very unique name :P
I would also say that you should name your child or chipmunks something different especially because of the child because I enjoy being unique in some sort of way. :)

my first 2 are dilutes called bits n bobs, as i couldnt think of a name, my nephew who took me to get them suggested it  :icon_thumleft: then i had my dilute hellboy because when he was a baby his mum caught his front foot and it swelled up like a big balloon and the character hellboy had a big arm  :sign10: :sign10: and when we got him a mate we called her an agouti angel, so she was a hells angel  :laughing7: now since hellboy died R.I.P! we called angels new mate gabriel, also a dilute, and they are now so in love :love3: and my last pair were bubble n squeak, only as the male squeaked and bubble went with squeak, but then we sold squeak as we couldnt catch the other male squiggle, who is named as 1 of his stripes were not straight, so now we av bubble the dilute female n squiggle the agouti male  :laughing4:

I also remembered how we named one of our cats. Well we had a tesco delivery and the guy there saw the cat and just said he's a buster so that is now his name :)

hehe their are some fab names in their! I love the hellboy resulting in his hells Angel  :sign10:

I have looked online at the most popular names and I don't seem a big fan of most of them so I am looking down the more unique track maybe. I might have a look into a baby book and see what comes out of that (although I must admit I do like Aaron if it is a boy and its the first name in the book  :icon_biggrin: )

Tiny came named as he was the smallest of the three brothers and Star was named by my cousin and it stuck as it suited her personality  :love3:

this was hellboys arm, we thought he would lose it so we decided earlier on we would keep him so he was extremely spoilt, but his arm practically returned to normal later but he was already appropriately named i thought  :sign10:
