The correct name for a pet hamster (not including the dwarf varieties) is a Syrian, or Golden Hamster.

There are many unofficial names for the species, some refer to colouration, 'black bear hamster' for example. Some refer to fur style, like 'teddy bear hamster', or a mixture, 'fancy hamster'. However none of these are actual species in of themselves, they are all Syrian Hamsters.
