Are you thinking of getting a pet hedgehog? Are you wondering what you’re going to name it? Are you tired of asking friends and family for suggestions? If you’re nodding by now, you’ve come to the right page! We have a list of cute and funny names for your little pet. Read on!

### What a large family!

_There are 15 different species of [hedgehogs](https://buzzle.com/animals-pets/interesting-facts-about-hedgehogs), out of which the **African Pygmy** is the most domesticated._

Hedgehogs make such wonderful, adorable pets, don’t they? Sure, they may not be very cuddly at all times, and may be a little scared of you in the beginning, but once they’re friends with you, watch out! You’ve just gotten yourself an amazing playmate! Your little pin cushion (hey, that’s a great name!) will gaze at you with tiny, beady eyes and make you feel close to overflowing with love. Seriously. And who can ignore that pea-sized nose? And the darting about here and there?

By now I’m sure you’re excited about your new hedgehog, and now all you have to do is think of a great name. I agree, it can be difficult to name a pet, any pet, with a name that seems like it was made just for him/her. But hey, that’s why you’re here. Here are a few hedgehog name suggestions for you, we hope you pick one!

**Tip**\-  
What you can do is, say the name out loud to see if you think it suits your pet hedgehog. It could be an irony, it could be the name of a cartoon character, a food item, or anything else. If it sounds right, pick it!
