We may know a thing or two about crazy dog names and even crazy cat names, but Zootoo rounded up the top registered pet names for other animals from horses and hamsters to fishes and ferrets. If you've ever owned different creatures (or need inspiration for future, less traditional pets), check out the findings for eight species and my special additions to each list.

Some people may think that getting invited to an Oscars after party or the Met Costume Institute Gala in New York City means they've arrived. That's because they haven't witnessed what is the event of the season: the Guinea Pig Watermelon Eating Party. (Clothing optional!) All you have to do is bring your cute little muzzle, some funny noises, and lots of enthusiasm. Hopefully, I can crash the next one. . .
Lil pets, I didn't forget about you! Now I know it's not the most stylish, but compared to the small carrier alternatives, it's pretty nifty. After all, dogs and cats have a variety of crave worthy totes that look like purses, but tiny pets often have those hard plastic cases only.
Doubling as a front pack and backpack, the Marsupack ($64) has expandable mesh windows for extra space and even a safety leash to hold him in tight. Snuggles are made easier on a reversible mat – cushy plush for Winter and a more lightweight material on the flip side. Just strap in to any car seat for safe travels.
Hey, Stephanie Pratt: This is a Guinea Pig!

Even if you're not a guinea pig expert, you know what those furry fellas look like, right? They are most definitely not supersized hamsters and, frankly, I don't even think baby guinea pigs resemble adult hamsters. However, Stephanie Pratt made this baffling comment on last night's episode of The Hills.
I know it looks like Mikey is about to eat this cute little guinea pig, but trust me, your eyes are deceiving you. Mikey and his house guest actually get along quite well, cuddling and napping together. I just love how they are posing in this piccy. So Emo.
Congrats to Mikey and Jude C for being chosen as our Pet Pic of the Day! Be sure to submit your favorite snapshots to our Pet Pics group! You may find your pet on the pages of PetSugar!
Would this cute creature still seem sweet with any other name? In addition to the ever-popular moniker, guinea pig, these rodents have a couple other names in store. Be a guinea pig and see if you can sniff out the wrong answer.
If you're dreaming of farm animals but you're lacking the farm, these enclosed homes are perfect for backyard egg layers! Your pet chicken won't feel cooped up in a classy eglu, and she'll have a detachable, fenced (fox-proof!) run for more strutting. Created by UK-based Omlet, there are two models – chickens and rabbits – offered stateside. Each chicken eglu ($515 including two birds and $495 without) includes a slide-out tray for cleaning, a roosting area, and a nesting box . . . if you're dreaming of omelets for real, you can run out to collect eggs from your own property and get started in the kitchen!
I'm happy to see a couple of these nice homes in the US and I'm hoping more will become available here soon. Last year, the company released that Eglu Cube (seen at the top left) and even offers useful Omlet courses run by an "eggsperienced egluowner" in England (ha!) to cover all the everyday skills required to look after your new feathered friend.
What starts out as the semi-terrifying meeting of pit bull and guinea pig turns into a love-fest. Poor pits--they have such a bad rep, but can be so cute! And is there a sillier looking animal than a guinea pig?
