My fawn hooded female went three weeks without a name and we finally decided on Nommo. It means that nothing truly exists without a name. Very fitting I thought. She looks like a Pepper to me. Very cute BTW!

Sometimes it takes forever for the right name to come to you and others can be named instantly. My 2 black and white hooded girls took a couple of months to name! Each week they would "try on names" that didn't really seem to fit, then we would try two more. *sigh* Such a hard business, naming our babies. Rolling Eyes

3 totally made up names came to me when I looked at her pics. Don't know if you'll like them or not but here they are:

Teepo

Alysandia

Afaeriya

Good luck with her and don't forget to post more pics of her!

I had 2 rats but they died at 4 Blink

anyway now i am getting 2 more rats both females Mr. Green

i need names Crossed Fingers

I was thinking Eve and Holly
What do u think? Rat yawn

Sat Aug 13, 2005 3:50 pm

Eve and Holly sound good. wink

But I'd wait until you get them to make them official. Before I got rats I wrote a whole list of names for them, and didn't end up using any of them because it just didn't fit them. You could wait until you get them to name them, just incase the names don't fit the personality.

Those are beautiful names! I think Hope and Faith are pretty too for a female pair, but I agree with the others, you should wait and see how their personalities turn out.

So I will be bringing my baby girl home in 14 days!! Yes I am counting down! Mr. Green

I can't wait to have a rattie again!

Now I need to come up with a name for a beautiful little hooded girl.
Some ideas that I've had are.

* Kiara
* Coma
* Suzy
&
* Star

Any suggestions would be great!

Mon Sep 19, 2005 9:46 pm

I love kiara!!....lol..probably because I absolutely love the Lion King, but I think Kiara would be a beautiful name for a little hooded girl. Good luck with the new little one.

Mon Sep 19, 2005 10:50 pm

I like Suzy!!!!!! Its such a pretty name for a pretty girl....and it doesn't hurt that thats my name too

LOL! Your name Suzy! I thought it might be cute because she's black and white and I thought of a Suzy Q!
And I love the Lion King too!! I was watching it yesterday and thought it would be pretty cute for a sweet little girl. I like the name Kovo to for a boy! hehe

I have had my boys for about 4 weeks now. I named them, but the names just don't feel right. Would it be wrong to change their names now? And i don't know what to name them. Unfortunately i don't know how to put pics on the computer but one is very tiny for his age and he is chincilla brown colored (ventures alot & far, very brave, annoys his bigger brother by always stepping & jumping on him) and the other boy is russian blue hooded (lazy, more frightened, not as brave as the other). Both are very sweet mama's boys) Any ideas? I can give more info about their personality if needed. Thank you so much in advance for any suggestions. I don't want to wait too long if i change their names.

I am a very firm believer that rats pick their on names. Take my pair Newton and Darwin, for example. I always swore that I'd get a couple of black and white boy cats one day, and call them Crick and Watson, after the two guys that discovered the structure of DNA. However, I realised it wasn't going to happen any time soon, so I decided that when I got my next two black and white boy RATS, I'd call them, Crick and Watson. However, when I did get my next two, they weren't black and white. So I decided to go for a couple of other scientists instead.

Unfortunately, it became evident to me pretty fast that, despite being called Newton, he was most definitely Monkey. And Darwin was quite obviously named Baby. So they have their official names that they were originally given, but they never get called them by me or my flatmate. It's always Monkey and Baby.

Ironically enough, it sounds like your guys are similar to mine - Newton is Agouti (which I think your little one might be) and Darwin is blue capped, though Darwin is smaller than Newton. wink

Regarding names - I can only say to go with what they seem to be. You can keep their original names, and just use nicknames, or you can change them. I agree that if you're going to do so, though, do it sooner rather than later. wink

Do you already have the photos on your computer there or no?

That is a good idea. I will just keep their names and give them nicknames. They already have about 10 depending on what they are doing at that moment!! ahaha. LOL

Thanks for the advice.
