Months after the death of my poor dearest little miss, I still have a rat cage sittng on my front doorstep. Finally I decded to get myself some new furry little frends to fill the cage. My problem now is... what on earth do I name them.
I have decided to get 2 this time to keep each other company, so hence searchng for two names. I will be getting my rats at the end of the week and need a name before then.
Any suggestions?

I liked Durbs' suggestion, except I would probably let people discover the R for Rat 'coincidence' on their own and let them think it was their own clever joke.

I agree with this. I had a rat named Cheddar though and later on got another and named it CJ.

I love finding names that mean something...
I'd either call them a name that includes Rat in it...
i.e.
Cratus - Greek - Strength
Efrata - Hebrew - Honoured
Or find names that mean something like rat...
Alyssa - RATional
Lalawethika - Native America - RATtle sound
Or after famous Rats?
Templeton is the name of the rat in Charlottes web.
Scabbers of HP fame?
Splinter? - TMNT
Or Rat in a different language?
Indonesian - Tikus
Swedish - Tjalla
Rizzo - Muppets

I got caught up with the excitement of my childhood, I no longer back that name.
I think you should name in a way that makes the most sense to you.
But if I were naming two pet gibbons I would name them Micky and Peter. After two of the monkees.

My mate's trying to find a name for her two new rats too (to go with Reepicheep, the existing rat)- I think I've talked her into Slartibartfast for one, but that still leaves one little ginger female ratty.. Any spare inspiration?
Edit: why I am I doing this?I keep forgetting she's registered on here herself, Jo, ask for yer own rat names..

Actually, I think I will help myself to your laptop....
You could be my earthling diplomatic representative here, and hence have a reason to get rat names for me....?
Dirk- rocking name. Doesn't suit her too well, though. Maybe I should start naming them all after Red Dwarf characters again....

I'm willing to bet most people don't return rats to a shelter.
Probably kill them or let them loose.
