Big Hamster

[bugshaw]

Regarding yesterday's post, did I ever tell you about the new hamster? Revel passed away last summer, leaving just Humphrey the small hamster (Roborovski), and maybe sometime around Christmas Ozy bought me a new hamster as a replacement, and food and everything. She is a Syrian hamster so much bigger than Humphrey, black and white with a saddle like a Friesian cow, still not at all friendly and likes to stand rock still when I'm there as I'm a scary predator, and her name is... her name is... I've forgotten. I am a bad bad person. I came here to look it up but I paged back to Revel entries and I seem not to have mentioned her.

What is her name?
What should her name be?
Am I a bad person?

EDIT: It is Matilda. Odd name for a hamster which might be why I forgot it. Your suggestions were better :-)

How about Frau or Jungfer? Because of the cast list for a German play, Der Hofmeister by Lenz:

Herr von Berg. Geheimer Rat.
Der Major. Sein Bruder.
Die Majorin.
Gustchen. Ihre Tochter.
Fritz von Berg.
Graf Wermuth.
Läuffer. Ein Hofmeister.
Pätus und Bollwerk. Studenten.
Herr von Seiffenblase.
Sein Hofmeister.
Frau Hamster. Rätin.
Jungfer Hamster.
Jungfer Knicks.
Frau Blitzer.
Wenzeslaus. Ein Schulmeister.
Marthe. Alte Frau.
Lise.
Der alte Pätus.
Der alte Läuffer. Stadtprediger.
Leopold. Junker des Majors. Ein Kind.
Herr Rehhaar. Lautenist.
Jungfer Rehhaar. Seine Tochter.

Sadly 'Rat' doesn't mean rat so Rätin isn't a female rat. But it should be.

I vote for Daisy - because she looks like a Friesian.

Astarte, because, Syrian. Atargatis might be more authentic, but less easy for every day conversation.

Our last set of gerbils never even got names; unless you count grey one, black one, Siamese one, and other black one.

Uma Thurman's character in Kill Bill? Don't want to give her ideas though...
