Male Rat needs a name!!

[CoolioTiffany]

He's gonna be my breeder as well as my pet, and I'm expecting to get a female pretty soon. Just getting a bit costly every month to feed the snakes, so I finally decided to start breeding.

First I'm gonna raise them up, of course, just so my breeders are used to being handled and won't mind be picking them up to move them into other bins and such.

I've gotten some pretty good names so far from some friends, so I wanna see what you guys can come up with. I've never really named a rodent besides a mouse my sisters gave me for a birthday present when I was little. Help with naming is appreciated







Cell phone pics at night don't work out very well

I know it's not /too/ unique, but I instantly thought "Henry". XD

Bump xD

He is still nameless! I was thinking Scabbers from Harry Potter (Ron's rat) but I need some more ideas I like naming my pets.

Even though mine are all Pets, I decided to name them after foods (Snacks more specifically). I thought it would be cute (considering I have the snakes) and to poke fun at the rat hobbyist a little.

Currently I have; Twinkie, Smore, Marshmallow, Snickers, Lollipop, Caramel and Chip.

I'd say, find a theme and stick with it. It's easier to name them. A good theme can be foods, favorite movie/television show, books, mythology, etc. Just brainstorm on a subject you enjoy and find out if it has a lot of decent names attached.

I tend to name my rats with themes. For instance I have a female named Nutmeg. I'm keeping four of her female offspring and their names are Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme. (hubby made me do it!).

He is a cutie! I love hooded rats. Hmmm. Lets see a good name...I will think and come back.

Why not do a Grimm's Fairy Tale name theme or Fairy Tales in general? Lots to work with there. A few that come off the top of my head are; Hansel, Rumpelstiltskin, Iron John, etc.

ron the rat? lol

I like that food theme a lot, I might go with that. I'll be getting a black & white female rat that looks similar to him except the brown is black. I'll be naming that girl Oreo

I was actually thinking Ron for a joke LOL

He looks gray/ blue, so my instant thought was Mr.Blue! Ha ha, Iknow it's stupid, but hey, I don't know what to tell you. If he is actually tan and I'm wrong about the gray, I would say name him Cinny, like Cinnamon.
