Name suggestions

[Catherine]

Okay, so now we are looking for a name for a much larger male rat. That changes everything.  Of course the name Oreo would still work. You could name him for a musician like David Bowie or Gord Downie. They were interesting people.   How about Edgar or Leonard. Edgar Rat has a nice sound to it. I would go with Ratbert. I could never resist that name if I had a rat. How about Roger Rat, a play on Roger Rabbit. I like the name Frodo and over the years I have known some very fine pets called Frodo.

You could always go with the name Charlie. It has so many interesting connections. Or even better call him Chuck.
I am sure the right name will come to us. 

I am glad he is doing so well and I am sure he will overcome his shyness with time.
