Angela, your animals have the most amazing names!!! I don't know which name I love best--maybe Mystical Faerie or Imaginary Superstar.

Your ratties look so natural in your photos. I like the upstairs/downstairs one!

[Die Fledermaus]

Lovely.

What is the name for light rats with dark noses?

I like them especially in the blanket and climbing on the basket thing. I guess #10 is my fave.

[adoptaratcanada]

Beautiful babies, and beautifully taken photos!!

[ladyjosephine]

most funniest name to me is Oh My! Apple Pie! It's the name of one of Ben&jerry's Flavours
I like Imaginary Superstar and Shades of Avalon's names the most..but actually I love them all because the name-picking always depends on the animal, it has to fit them.
And because it can take for ages before I find the name...the name of Sharada took me about 5 weeks, It's(like her mom's name) a song by Skye Sweetnam

@ DF: Ava&Passie are BES; Black Eyed Siamese

The most beautiful pictures to me are the ones of Ava, she's so picture-perfect..with her I can take 100 pictures and they are all beautiful, while the other girls are on almost all pictures in some kind of weird "pose" so I can delete almost 90% of the pictures...

Nice looking rats you have there Angela! The names are neat too, I like it when people pick out different and cool names for their pets. Namari is a word from LotR right?

[Die Fledermaus]

BES. Knew it meant something.

<< Namari is a word from LotR right? <<

Ai! laurië lantar lassi súrinen,
Ah! like gold fall the leaves in the wind,
yéni únótimë ve rámar aldaron!
long years numberless as the wings of trees!
Yéni ve lintë yuldar avánier
The long years have passed like swift draughts
mi oromardi lissë-miruvóreva
of the sweet mead in lofty halls
Andúnë pella, Vardo tellumar
beyond the West, beneath the blue vaults of Varda
nu luini yassen tintilar i eleni
wherein the stars tremble
ómaryo airetári-lírinen.
in the voice of her song, holy and queenly.

Sí man i yulma nin enquantuva?
Who now shall refill the cup for me?

An sí Tintallë Varda Oiolossëo
For now the Kindler, Varda, the Queen of the stars,
ve fanyar máryat Elentári ortanë
from Mount Everwhite has uplifted her hands like clouds
ar ilyë tier undulávë lumbulë
and all paths are drowned deep in shadow;
ar sindanóriello caita mornië
and out of a grey country darkness lies
i falmalinnar imbë met,
on the foaming waves between us,
ar hísië untúpa Calaciryo míri oialë.
and mist covers the jewels of Calacirya for ever.
Sí vanwa ná, Rómello vanwa, Valimar!
Now lost, lost to those of the East is Valimar!
Namárië! Nai hiruvalyë Valimar!
Farewell! Maybe thou shalt find Valimar!
Nai elyë hiruva! Namárië!
Maybe even thou shalt find it! Farewell!

Namari is a/the japanese word for Lead-grey
I didn't come up with that name though, the name was given to her by her former owner; 1 of my best friends

[Die Fledermaus]

>> the name was given to her by her former owner; 1 of my best friends <<

Wonder if she read Tolkien!!

[ladyjosephine]

she's a Japan-freak, almost al her old girls have japanese names.

She has(or had); Shiroii, Aiko, Chihiro, Reika, Hana, Sakura, Maiko, Byôgakudai(daughter of namari, mother of Honey bee)...and probably more that I can't remember...
Her Rattery name is also japanese; Ai(English version of her website = www.everyoneweb.com/airatteryenglish/ ...it's not up-to-date)

Namari is Japanese, no doubt about that

[Die Fledermaus]

If you look at my Memorial Gallery in my signature you will see a gerbil named Enjo. She had an interesting story being a rescue near death and with minor deformities.

Enjo is supposed to be a Japanese name. I know what it means. Care to inquire of your friend? She is about a quarter of the way down when scrolling down. She is with Hermione, another rescue.

I also have on there a gerbil called Keiko.

Nice name for one of the rats - Edelweiss. Looks like my Panini - a timid girl.

Russian Dove there. Interesting color. Same with Sealpoint Himalayan!

Mink Bareback. Never heard of that color/markings.

Very interesting colors. I will check back and I hope others take a look.

[ladyjosephine]

Edelweiss is a sweetheart, and a very funny rat too

Russian dove is the same color as Honey Bee, Byô is her mother.
The mink Bareback girl(Zarya) had a "date" with my Ace(Mink Hooded HS) but she didn't get pregnant.

Sealpoint Himalayan isn't that rare... Most Siamese&Himalayans are Sealpoint; Passie,ava&Tex are all Sealpoints.
