A few weeks ago I got Binky. Today I went to the pet shop with the intention of looking for toys for him and I ended up coming home with a baby rat! I need name suggestions. He is mostly really dark brown (almost black) and his underside is white and he has huge ears.

i have 2 rats... Hoodsie and Lucy. I was origanilly gunna name them Butta and Void (inside joke) but it did not fit them.. i am also a strong believer that animal pick the names they want... Lucy is sopposed to be the female version of Lucifer which is the name of one of the rabbits at school (i didnt know that Lucifer is the devil... i only thought it was a pretty name!) and she is no devil... if anything, she is more angel for her name. and Hoodsie was very hard to name... but then As Told By Ginger, a Nickelodeon show, came on, and i got the name hoodsie... also, she is a hooded rat, and she is black and white, so she reminded me of those chocolate and vinalla ic cream hoodsie cups!

My mom got the movie Willard for me yesterday and i have finally watched it! the next rats i get will be 2 males, 1 black, 1 white.. and i will name them Big Ben and Socrotes (sp?) LOL

Well - technically Lucifer is the name of the morning star, bringer of light (something which - later in the Bible - also refers to Jesus). It was only after a few translations that it was introduced as the name of the "fallen angel" that became synonymous with Satan/"the Devil" but originally it was simply another name for the planet Venus (AKA the Morning Star).

Mr. Dressup is / was in America too. I used to watch it when I was little all the time because Mr. Rogers creeped me out. But maybe Mr. Dressup was just Canadian because I live in Michigan and we get the Canadian PBS station.

Binky: A combination of the names Pinky and the Brain (cartoon rats)
Mr. Bojangles: There's an oldies song that i'm in love with called Mr. Bojangles

My two hooded boys are Alexi (after the haemophiliac son of the Russian Tzar, and his father was Nicolai so it seemed he should have a Russian name) and Jeff The Maosi (after Jeff The Maori on Bro Town - New Zealanders will know what I mean).
I have already picked out a name for my new Champange/Dove boy! He's one of Flying Duster's new babies, she called him Smatt, but I think I will rename him Ulysses. It was a toss up between that and Icarus but I decided against it because I had a Turquoisine named Ichabod - too similar!

My first rat ever, was named Violet from The Series of Unfortunate Events. She was a dumbo, and my second rat was Sunny. I named them that because the were both petstore rats, but from different pet stores and they kind of reminded me of orphans, and they would have been feeders so that was unfortunate. Violet passed away at an early age from a respiratory illness Sad

. So I got a new friend for Sunny at a petstore (at that time I wasn't aware I should get my rats from breeders.) I named her Isadora. Another character from the Series of Unfortunate Events who Violet, Sunny, and Klaus meet and become friends with. I thought that fitted perfectly.

Unfortunately, Isadora also passed away at an early age from the same respiratory illness, that Violet had passed away from. It was that day that I vowed to never buy a rat from a petshop again. Again, I had to find a friend for Sunny this time it wasn't so easy. I also put Sunny on anitbiotics in case she was still carrying the respiratory disease. I got my next rat from a woman who had already named ther rat Lola. The name kinda stuck and I was having bad luck choosing names so I kept the name.

My rats are named Colonel Kurtz and Willard after the two main characters in the fillm 'Apocalypse Now'. I live in a very little flat with my long suffering boyfriend who wasn't at all keen on the idea of getting rats ("can't you get someting cute and fluffy?"), however he cheerfully supported me, as always, so i named them for his favourite film, to thank hiim. However they seem aptly named as Colonel Kurtz is suitably chubby, confident and thoughtful, whilst Willard is wirey and nervous. And needless to say my boyfriend is now absolutely in love with the pair!

My babies are Imogene and Lady Madonna.

Imogene is incredibly shy, and to me, Imogene was always a sort of plain, introverted, shy-girl kind of name (and a beautiful one, at that). It only took me three days to decide what to name her based on her personality, and it seems to fit like a glove. She is very timid, very...shying from the limelight, but beautiful.

Lady Madonna was actually a couple of ideas put together. When I brought her home, she liked to put her paws on the glass and lean against it, and my roommate was talking to her and asked, "What are you doing, silly girl? Do you like to vogue?" Much like Madonna, she's got a big attitude and an independent nature. A friend of mine, a rat expert, said that Lady Madonna would be a nice name, as she liked the Paul McCartney song, and I thought it suited her, since she is albino...you know, pure, spotless, etc, like the Virgin Mary.

Sometimes I call Imogene Genie, or GeneGenie, and Lady Madonna gets all sorts of nicknames--Lady, Madonna, Donna.

I think they're perfect names for two very distinct sisters.

Hey, I'm not any sort of expert with names, my girlfriend says our little buggers whispered their names into her ear. She likes 'people' names for animals, so it's a good job the are called William and Jeremy!

Dobie- because he is naked and reminded me of Dobie from the Harry Potter Movie
Cheech and Chong, because they are brothers and almost look identical and act identical in their amusing antics
Syd- original Syd "The Scardey Rat, then (because he is aggressive it changed to "Syd Vicious", and now it is Syd "The Handsome Hunk Of Rat" well because he is handsome
Engle,- my daughter named him it is german for Angel I believe but his nic name is "Old Man because he's a blue double rex and reminds me of a grandpa with his greyness and balding spots.
Sam of Siam- he is a snake rescue PEW but with a siamese mask, so it seemed fitting
Bandit- because he is my little engine that can, was born a runt and would steal everyones snacks to get his fill. and cheated death about 8 months ago.
King George II- because he is a spitting image of my beloved dear departed King George I (April 2002-August 2004) right down to his fatness

I can't seem to find any good names that 'stick'. I've had the names, Yoshi, Stitch, and Koda suggested by Family. But I don't know.. Anyone have any suggestions?

The 'white' boy. Though I'm pretty sure he's a mismarked smeeze. He has a little smudge on his nose. It just doesn't show up in the pics!

The other boy. (its hard to get him to hold still for a pic!)
