rat names?

[ratcreature]

I'm trying to think of possible names for the two little rats who are going to move in with me this weekend (and hopefully will get along with Krümel without bloodshed). So far I'm considering Emil and Oskar, or maybe Ignatz (for the mouse from Krazy Kat). I like my rats to have names that are easy to pronounce and spell, and neither too long nor pretentious. Any suggestions?

I like Ignatz a lot.

Pogo and Albert would also be a good pair. :)

Congrats on the new rats!

Heh. True, though I don't much like the sound of "Albert".

And I really look forward to them, one is going to be dark brown, almost black, and one is Russian Blue (i.e. a dark silvery gray). I just hope Krümel will accept them and they'll get along. The breeder is coming to bring them to me though on Saturday, so I'll have at least some experienced support for their first meeting. I really, really don't want to loose another rat like I did little Gonzo.

Well, it's a bit awkward to call a rat with names and titles, also, I don'twant to cast such a shadow on their personalities. ;)
