Exotic pets typically include any type of animal that’s not a cat, dog, or farm animal. If you just picked up your exotic pet, whether it’s a bird, reptile, pot-bellied pig or frog, to take home and make a part of the family, that pet is going to need a name. If you’re learning toward a J name—perhaps to match the first letter of another pet who also has a name that begins with J—take a look at the top options below, as well as a lengthy list of alternative names.

Tips for Naming Your Pet

  • Before settling on a name for your exotic pet, make sure you consider a few factors, like physical characteristics, personality, and the specific animal you’re bringing home. You don’t have to name your pet right away, and it can actually help to wait until you get to know them better before deciding.Also, make sure that whatever name you choose is a name you’ll feel comfortable telling your vet, friends, and family. It might seem all in good fun to name your exotic pet something funny, but if you’ll be embarrassed when your vet calls your pet’s name in the waiting room, that name probably isn’t the right one.
