What should I name my new hamster?

I am adopting a hamster tomorrow and it is a boy. I want to name it either Duncan or Elliot, but can't decide.

Update:

I think I got it. When I see him, if he's lighter, I'll name him Elliot, darker, I'll name him Duncan, becuas of what Maren said about the meanings.

    Both names are great for a boy! You could go with Elliot, it sounds like the name for a sweetheart. Duncan sounds more regal, and also strong yet easy-going. depending on your hamster, you can pick. When I can't decide on a name, I name it both! Duncan Elliot or Elliot Duncan can be cute. Or, you can make a combination of the two. Ellican or Duniot. Actually... I like naming him both. To me Duncan Elliot sounds nice. If you do this, you can make up nicknames for your hamster. Just use whatever comes out of your mouth first. My hamster is named Cupcake, but one day I called her Cakers. Hope this helps.

    You can try making his name a MIX of Duncan and Elliot. Like, Ellican or Duniot. Most people prefer Duncan because Elliot is used as a GIRL name too.
