[Opinions] Name for pet rat
Thinking of rat names, I found an old list that had:
Marmaduke
Ferris
Wellington ‘Welli’
Artichoke ‘Arty’
Monty
Tennis
ElioMonty is my current favourite but I want a longer name for it that’s not Montague (any gender welcome)Any other ideas/ur faves?https://www.behindthename.com/pnl/145466

I like Marmaduke and Monty
Montgomery is the obvious go to, but Monet would even work along with any place or surname with Mont in it. And there are a lot, since it means 'mountain'. Marmaduke "Duke" and Montgomery "Monty" Would be cute for pet rats!
Monty is adorable. I also like Arty and Elio.
Montmartre
Artichoke "Arty" is sublime.I had rats named Jeannette, Nadine, and Melba.
Fleamont "Monty" - it's Harry Potter's grandfather's name.
Monterey Jack!
Montgomery, Montezuma, Mountbatten, Montana, Fremont?
Personally I'd name it after some kind of cheese.
