I started off giving all my hedgies Algerian names that I found on baby name websites.....Ameerah, Xavier, Inara, Noya, etc. But, as I added hedgies from other breeders to my herd that had already been named, I just started picking names I liked. I named one of my most recent hedgies "Baya", which I thought was a beautiful name, until I discovered it means "ugly looking" in Swahili- oops! :lol:
