Help me name the new rats! Here are pictures and descriptions. Like all polls, I have no idea if I will go with the winner, but hey, it'll be fun.

............ I was about to go for the first one too, but shipper me is shipper. Whatever.

Heeee.

Hakkai and Gojyo! <3

The hooded one is a little more courageous than the brown one, who is very skittish and shy. The hooded one will amazingly sit still for the camera while the brown guy runs around sniffing everything and jumping at every other noise.

Hmm... Sanzo and Goku?

Ran and Meow?

Have you ever seen Tsukikage Ran? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carried_by_the_Wind:_Tsukikage_Ran)

It's a fun series about two female wandering martial artists. <3

I was thinking of Saiyuki, except I think the rats are too sweet to be any of the gang! Also, I slash them, so that would be weird with the rats.

I haven't seen Tsukikage Ran, thanks for the link.

I voted Doumeki and Watanuki based on this line from the description: "The hooded one will amazingly sit still for the camera while the brown guy runs around sniffing everything and jumping at every other noise." It seemed to suit them.

I know, I was thinking that, but hooded guy is nervous at times too, so I'm not sure!

The new rats are ridiculously cute. I voted for Gundam pilot names, but now I'm having second thoughts because I wouldn't want your rats to go insane or get too angsty.

[oyceter]

I know! I think Quatre and Trowa fit well, except for that whole blowing people up thing.

Then again, it's not like Ed and Al are angst-free ;).

I was tempted by the Gundam pilots, but my brain broke when I thought, "Does Oyce really want to slash her rats? Who are brothers?" So I went with my own suggestion.

Second vote, if I had one, would have gone to Ed and Al.

[oyceter]

I know! I am very tempted by Doumeki/Watanuki, actually, because hooded rat has proved to be much better at being still, but I am not sure how to nickname them...

Where are my tickyboxes? I also support the Doumeki and Watanuki naming system. Mostly I don't know who these other people are, which I'm sure is terrible of me.

[oyceter]

Hee! Most are from anime, though Han Seong and Han Gyul are from Coffee Prince ^_^.

Those are very cute rats!

They make me want to get rats, even though with a cat who has to have baby latches on every cupboard and alarm bells on closet doors, small animals are contraindicated for their own safety in this apt. But they make me fondly remember reading with a rat asleep on my shoulder...

[oyceter]

They are so adorable! But yeah, the cat might not take to them..
