I adopted this little fella yesterday (sorry for the blurry photo):
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v223/blackcat20/Rat.jpg)

and he needs a name!

He is a boy, born on valentines day (awwww); he is a pale cafe latte colour (called "dove") and instead of the normal smooth fur he has a kind of frizzy fur (its cute  :) )...so now all he needs is a name..

any suggestions?

the first name that comes to my is scabbers lol then the usual like scamper or sneak lol

lol wouldnt want to give him a complex and name him after someone evil  :rofl:

I would have liked to call him Latte, but a cat a couple of houses down already has that name, and every knows him, so that would be confusing

Pinky! Or the Brain ;)

What's another coffee? Macchiato? Cappucino?

flat white lmao    moccachino     

:rofl:

Funnily enough I dont actually like coffee  :rofl:

How about Valentino?

my mum suggested that too....its a big name for such a little guy...

Orli? ;)

a friend just suggested Starbucks (to go with his coffee colouring)

Thar's cute :D

My younger sister had a stuffed rat when she was a child.  He had a stomach that stuck out a little and big pink and gray ears.  Your rat reminds me of him.   We called him Sidney for the maid from Maude, a seventies television show's, boyfriend.  She called him her kidney from Sidney.  The boy friend was from Sidney, Austraila.

I think we have a final selection: Bailey. Named after Baileys Irish Cream liquer (my favourite, and a perfect match for his colour)

wtg

I like it! :D

hehe thanks  :D

He and Bella (the cat) met nose to nose this evening...she is interested, but not in the sense of a normal cat, as she has never seen a real rat before... so hopefully they can be (supervised) friends...

Someone I worked with named their daughter Bailey after the drink  :rofl:  But I think it is far more suitable for your new pet  ;D.  I was going to ask what Bella thought of him.  You do realise though if Bailey falls asleep on Bella's back you will never find him  ;)

Oh, thats a bit scary, naming a child after an alcoholic drink   :o At the moment it seems like a big name for such a little rat, but he'll grow into it.... he's a bit quiet at the moment (probably lonely, had 11 siblings...) but he perks up when i enter the room which is nice

Bella knows what toy mice are; she carries them round, howls at them, and puts them in her food bowl, and sometimes her water bowl  :rofl: but a real live rat is a bit of a curiosity for her at the moment

i just realised we both have cats named Bella lol   mind you our other cats name is pixie

No, that's not scary, that's living in Essex  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:  Another colleagues daughter named her son Jack because her surname was Daniels  :rofl:


Lets hope little Bailey is a good swimmer then  ;)
