We have had a variety of them over the years named from Toffee and Fudge and when Fudge died, it became Toffee and Butterscotch. Toffee was toffee coloured and Fudge was a grey and cream mix that was reminiscent of vanilla fudge. We were initially only looking after them for 6 months, guinea pig sitting but they stayed with us until both of them died, some +4 years later, so they already had names when they came to us. Butterscotch was chosen simply because Toffee and something needed a theme!
We have also had Chekov (from the original Star Trek), Jadzia who started off life as Dax until we finally knew her sex. Dax could have gone to Jadzia Dax or Curzon Dax as needed (Deep Space Nine) and her name was chosen with care as a result. We also had Talia from Babylon 5. If you have not guessed we are SciFi fans and choose names after characters whose personalities seemed to fit the guinea pig... Bolshi, shy, retiring, quiet, blond...
