Newest Rescue Needs a Name! *She has a Name*

Well, a coworker of mine said that a friend of hers got a rat a couple of months ago but never got it a playmate and was not taking care of it so she asked if I could help. Having 5 rats already I told her I would ask Mainely Rat Rescue (which I volunteer as a temp foster and transport for) if they could help. They agreed to take her in but I would need to quarentine her for three weeks. Her story is hear breaking, not only was she never given another rat to play with but she's been living in a filthy tiny bird cage with only one level and one hideaway, not toys or hammocks! :sad3: I could not believe my eyes when I saw the cage she was in, it was the most dusgusting smelly thing I have ever seen and my coworker says this girl has maybe cleaned it ONCE since she's gotten her and shes had her for at least 2-3 months!!! Her diet was Regal Rat and junk food and she was never taken out for playtime. To make matters worse she nearly died the day I got her because I guess her owner felt bad about the whole thing and did love her but just could not take care of her so she decided they would spend their whole last day together and she brought her with her on all of her errands in the car with no water and it was nearly 80 degrees out and in a car in the sun you know it gets much hotter! :emb: So I guess she left her in the car for over an hour while she was in the store and came out and she was nearly unconsious laying on the dashboard directly in the sun!!! :thud: So that night I made sure she had plenty of water and fruits and vegetables high in water content. She was SOOO lethargic but thankfully has bounced right back!
I am actually amazed at how friendly and social she is and she loves to wrestle with your hand. She is the sweetest, most snuggly girl that I have ever met and has already fallen asleep in my fiancees hood! :heart: So, of course we are going to KEEP HER!!! :cheeky: This way it's even at 3 girls and 3 boys at least thats the excuse I keep telling myself. We have a double FN that should be big enough for six right??? This is my LIMIT though! Ecspecially since she came from a pet store and like many of my others has some respitory issues :wallbang: Can't say I'm surprised.

So, her name is Zoe but getting a new start and all I want to give her a new name... we started naming our rescues with L names so any suggestions? I want to be creative! Thanks in advance! :thumbup:


Here are some pics of her :mrgreen:

AWE!! I am SO happy you got her when you did poor little baby! She is beautiful though

I like ...
Leara
Lilly
Lady Luck
Lindsy
Lorali
Lori

Wow, that was a close call for her - so glad she pulled through, and will have a chance to live the life of rattie.

What a sweet little girl and so very fortunate to have survived and now be in a loving home where she will have friends.

:joy: Thank gosh she is safe and sound now and will get the joy of being loved and having friends!

Lucia!

Congrats! She is beautiful.
How about Luna?

Lindy's a nice name. :giggle:

Such a beautiful girl!

I don't have any "L" name suggestions because.. Well, I'm kinda partial to Zoe. 3 guesses why and the first 2 don't count.

i like the name lucretia a lot, but it seems too long
she looks like a tiny princess leia, but that might be too dorky, eh?
lindy
lamia
lisha
....hmmm that's all the l's i gots in mah brain

Oh what a close call for a lovely little girl....so glad she's with you now!

Im more partial to weird names....and personally i really like
Lemon (although she really isn't a lemon - but again quirky names :wink: )

but on a more realistic note, what about...
Lizzy?
Lexi ?
Lottie?

Thank you so much everyone! I'm glad she's safe and sound too! My fiancee and I can't agree on any L names so if you have any other suggestions of any letter they would be greatly appreciated lol :bow: There just aren't enough female L names out there I guess! My fiancee is big into video games and comic books so he wants to go that route since I picked almost all the other names but we'll see! Thanks again everyone for the support I'll keep you updated on how she's doing... working on intros this week :joy:

naming her after a comic superheroine!! That's a great idea. I'd pick one of the ladies on this list who had a rough start but pulled through.

Ah I suck at names. I love flower names though...Violet, Lily, Poppy, Heather, Bramble, Rosa, Daisy.

Lacey/Macey, Gwen, Scarlet, Rian, Raven?

ooh videogames eh?
Jill (as in Jill Valentine from the Resident Evil series)
Liara (as in Liara T'soni from the Mass Effect series...hey, that's an L name!)
Celes, Terra (Final Fantasy 6), Aeris, Tifa, Yuffie (FF7), Quistis, Rinoa (FF8), Yuna, Rikku (FF10)
Valeria, Camille, Nanami, Rina, Eilie, Tengaar, Lorelai, Kasumi, Mina, Lotte, Sylvina (from the Suikoden series)
Baiken, Bridget, Dizzy, Jam, Millia (Guilty Gear)
Litchi (Blazblue)
Those are some video game names I like, that was actually kinda hard to think of, I guess there aren't as many girlies in my video games as I thought...well ones with decent names anyway lol.

Well we couldn't agree on a name and nothing felt as right as Zoey so, we're keeping it afterall! It just fits her so well and it blends with the rest of the rats' names too. So welcome home Zoey! :joy:

cute! Yay for Zoey.!

I always think of Zooey Deschanel when I hear Zoey. She's so cute ^.^

I'm so glad you gave her a good home!
