One of my first rats was called Dangerous Beans after a rat character from a terry prachett book. Then we brought Beanie a friend and my partner thought that calling the new rattie Toast would be amusing. Since then a food and drink theme seems to have been the popular option.

| She still winks |
|
I am currently still on my first rattie and after I got her home she kept winking her right eye or it was twitching...either way, she looked so cute so I named her Winx. I'm getting another rat in a few days and am still considering names. I'll be getting a female again but like the name Charlie for a girl. Not sure yet.

Ema- The name just suited her, to me it seems like a gentle and docile name, and that just matched with her personality.
Snickers- Now, this name just all over matches her personality. She looks so cute and gentle, like the creamy milk chocolate on the outside of a Snickers bar... but on the inside, there is ALOT of personality!!!!

| Need a Christmas name |
|
I have Holly and Christmas, two baby rats and I've worked out the cage will take three. We're thinking of taking on a rescue girl from an accidental litter someone has got near to us.
I am stuck for a name though, I want it something Christmassy.
Cracker makes me think of Robbie Coltrane (sorry US based people, UK reference!). Noel, Angel, Star, no. Gabriel makes me think of Gabriel Kent from the Bill. lol Definitely not! Mryhh (can't spell it) sounds like I can't remember what her name is and Frankinsence will get shortened to Frankie and that makes me think of Coronation Street.
So far I have Mistletoe which will probably get shortened to Little Miss. Or Tinsel. Any ideas?
No to Rudolph, Snowy, Frosty or anything like that. I'm being really fussy!
She'll be a black hooded.

I'm not good at names, but how about "Merry"? Or maybe Christmas in another language? Eg, Christmas in Italian: Natale
Hmm....what about "Snowflake"? Guess not, since she's a black hooded....how about "Jingle"? How about "December"? Lol, just my suggestions... Good luck!

Ooh, maybe take something from Merry Christmas in Quenya Elvish, which is "Ná merye i turuhalmeri!" (ok, that means "may the christmas days be joyful", and Christmas is "Turuhalmeri")...
Hehe, just a suggestion

Ooooo Eve is a good one. And the naked thing, that's so funny!
Ginger made me laugh because Christmas IS a ginger hoodie (silver fawn). So for her to have a black hoodie cagemate called Ginger, that'd be too weird!
Pudding is possible, we'd have to feed her up though. 
Gift is kinda cool. Not sure J will go for it, he thought Mistletoe was too weird. I said no to Noel cos it's a bloke's name, and makes me think of Noel Edmonds (eew). I think I watch too much tv...

I love that name, Arvay!! But, Labrat does have a point there.
Personally, I like Mistletoe or Snowflake. Or Twinkle. I am actually expecting 2 litters on or around Christmas, ant the girl(s) I am keeping will have Christmas themed names too.
Do you know what color the new girl will be? If she is a PEW, I would name her something like Snow or Frost.

| Carlotta's litter - I need name ideas - PICS |

Carlotta's kids are growing up! They're all capped, and if I don't memorize the marking patterns on their foreheads, I'll never learn to tell them apart. Ho, boy. BTW, they're up for adoption in Estacada, OR (near Portland.)
This one I'm tentatively naming Dawkins. Any other name ideas?

awww. He or she is such a cutie!
Are they all up for adoption? Or do you already have homes for them all?
I'm thinking about adopting one, or two from you if they are still available. I'll be getting a new cage for my two boys. Probably in the next week or two. Already have it picked out, just need to buy it. And it's waaay too roomy for just two ^_- I already have a quarentine cage for any new ratties I get, and a perfect spot for it downstairs. (I know, its best to quarentine in a seperate house, but it's the best I can do for now XP). Would it be possible to get a picture of just the boys for me?
Also, do you have an adoption fee? (just so I know how much I should have ready for you when the time comes XP)
aaanyway. As for names. These are some I like:
Male Names:
Aikido
Binky
Cedric
Yoshi
Snickers
Skeeter
Mooshoo (the little dragon from mulaun)
Female Names:
Aida
Asha
Bianca
Isis
Kali
Teika

I named my newest rat Miyagi. I put a lot of time and thought into my names and I always wait a few days to see the animal's personality. First off, he's a siamese dumbo, so being siamese, I wanted an asian name for him. All of the names I could think of were from anime shows that I watch and none of them seemed fitting. After the few days wait, It was apparent that this little guy was very curious and brave. From the first day he was completely unafraid of me. He walks right up to my dog to sniff him or even try to steal a bite of food he may have with him. He's very playful and will actually chase my hand and run away only to turn back again and pounce on me. So a brave asian neme....Mr. Miyagi was a pretty cool character...wax on wax off...but I wasnt sure if that really suited him. That day I went to work and on my lunch break in the lounge, one of the karate kid movie's was on...this had to be a sign. The short time I was in there watching, I remembered how much of a smart ass that guy could be and he was a very brave man...so that was it. so my little guy is Miyagi!

Hey, I'm new here and I just got my first rats a couple days ago (I posted an introduction in the casual corner).
Ricky is the name of my black and white hooded rat. I just really like the name of that football player, Ricky Ray...I dont remember what team he's on. Also, I thought it would be cute to be Ricky Rat, sounds like a cousin of Mickey Mouse's or something...
The other two are beige and white hooded, and they are almost inseparable. I was having trouble thinking of names for them...they're always together and they look so much alike so I wanted something that matched. Suddenly my boyfriend piped up "How about Pete and Repeat?" I thought it was adorable and perfect for them, so it stuck.

Matilda : My older sister named her that because she was runty and cute.
willow (RIP) : Was orginalyl snakebate (Was her name when I got her) Then her gentle nature, adorable hood, and many days pondering what ot call this old girl, willow became her name and suited her really well. Her favoutrite toy was this ball, and I recently found what they were called Willow Balls, Coinsidence? Maybe.

Almost a couple years ago, I adopted 2 rats and 5 mice at the same time. I am a fan of old soulful blues and bluegrass music, and oldies in general.
So...
I honored the rattie girls with the names of 2 of my most favorite divas...
Aretha (Franklin) and Etta (James).
The mice boys got, for example, Marvin (as in Gaye) and Otis (as in Williams, the founder of The Temptations... not Redding, whom is equally deserving of a namesake).
When I got my newest 3 rattie girls, I had considered sticking with the diva theme. Maybe giving them names like Tina (Turner) or Nina (Simone) or Mary J (Blige) or Chaka Khan or....
But after recently losing Etta, I couldn't do it.
So I named one Emmie Lou as a variation on Emmylou Harris. I then asked my boyfriend to pick 2 girly yet respectful sounding names. He chose Agnes and Matilda.

I was going to name my first ever rats Mocha and Latte as they were coffee colour and creamy coffee colour.. But that got changed to Maggie and Flo, not really sure where they came from.. I just wanted some old fashioned sounding names!!
My next rat was from a friend who couldn't look after her anymore.. She was originally Pernod, but I didn't like it, so changed it to Poncho.. (It was going to be Pancho after Pancho Villa, but again, I changed my mind..
Scamps was Gus, Tom, Fry, and a load of other names before he was Scamps.. and then that was Scampi.. He was just so jumpy and into everything..
When I bought two brothers, who turned out to be brother and sister, one had a helmet so I was going to name him warrior, He turned out to be the she.. I have always wanted to call my daughter Hero (when I have one..) so I decided that Warrior would be Hero.. Her brother then adopted the name Warrior.
Then Hero decided that she was pregnant (store made pregnancy..) so after weeks of playing with her 9 babies, I finally came up with names..
I wanted unusual ones, so I typed in descriptive features of them into a thesaurus and named them after one of the alternative words! So..
The Girls:
Harry- has a face like a badger, and to badger is also to "harry"
Crue- is variegated, which turned up Motley.. hence the "Crue" (cheesy, I don't like the story but I like the name!!)
Maude- is the odd one out.. named after my grandmother.
Eidolon- she has a triangle on her back almost like another tail.. To shadow is to tail, and another word for a shadow is "Eidolon"
HotFoot- has a lightning bolt on her head, to bolt is to "hot foot"
The Boys:
Salty- is a blue rat, and apparently, when blue means distasteful, it is also known as "Salty".. not that he's a distasteful rat!
Baffle- has a missing bit in his back stripe.. which looked a bit like a cross. Apparently there is something of "to stump" in cross, and to stump is to "baffle"
Ilk- has a complete "stripe" and to be of the same stripe is to be of the same "ilk"
Monk- has no synonyms in the thesaurus, but he has a bald spot like a monk!!
So that's how I got my names!!
