So, it appears I am getting more ferrets. Fear not, Buzz is fine, but I started feeling guilty about having the big hutch sitting empty just because of his loner tendencies (Buzz has been in the smaller one for a while, now he's a psychotic loner) and then found out that a rescue I got earlier fuzzies from (Lily and Dougal) has a group of 3 lads who have to stay together. Chances are nobody else is going to have enough room to take them as a group so my guilty conscience made me go and see them last night and the plan is that I'll be picking them up later in the month, as I discovered yesterday that the big hutch needs a new roof before anyone can move in.

Anyway, assistance needed as follows - names! We're talking 3 boys, two albino and one polecat (see icon if you're uncertain what that looks like, but he's not as cute as Dougal because that could never happen). Single names for ferrets or suitable names for 3 who come as a set all considered - last time it was Woody and Buzz so I'm open to sets.

N.B. Despite considering calling a pair of girls Narcissa and Bellatrix, I will not be calling one of the white ones Draco. End of discussion. ;)

Yeah, that'll play well at the vets: "What's his name?" "Steve the ferret."

Though I confess I'd always thought Loki was a good name for a ferret. ;)

Thor, Loki and Heimdall?

And Steve the ferret is a perfectly good name. But if you must be a bit more formal, it could be Captain Steve Rogers. Then at the vet you say "Captain. Captain Steve Rogers. We call him Cap."

Loki is actually a really common ferret name on this side of the pond. Whenever I introduce Logi, I almost always get, "Loki? Like the God?" "No, LoGi... a completely different God. I'm making a different joke."

You could do Loki, Raven and Gwyddion - a set of trickster Gods. :)

Harpo, Grouch and Chico? (Old skool FTW!)

Or as I went with me three black and white cats who were brothers - Trotsky, Lenin and Marx - which always got a giggle at the vets!

Fannishly?

Skinner, Mulder, Krycek? (old school again!)

Or if you're into Haven you could have Parker, Nathan and Duke.

Sheppard, McKay and Ronon?

Danny, Steve and Chin?

Arthur, Merlin, Gwaine?

Um....it's possible I should shut up now. *G*

Fun!

I have no name ideas though. I'm very bad at names!

Jack, Owen & Ianto! (well I would). Dylan, Harper and Tyr? Holmes, Watson & Lestrade? (just not that effing TV version...) Aramis, Athos and Porthos?

I suppose if you wanted to mess with their little minds, you could call them Hazel, Fiver and Bigwig!

Jaime, Tyrion and Ned (although that might result in a lot of in-cage fighting and name calling)

Is anyone else concerned at all that you will be outnumbered by ferrets by a relatively large margin? I mean, what if some household decision must be put to a vote? You will be living in a, dare I say, ferretocracy.

When they get opposable thumbs, they also get a vote, until then not so much... thanks for your concern, however! :)

Okay, I love the Pinky and The Brain suggestion, but if you need a set of three, The Wombles has a choice of fun names so you can pick something appropriate for each:

Tobermory - an engineer and skilled inventor
Orinoco - a shirker who loves sleep and food
Bungo - overenthusiastic and bossy
Tomsk - athletic but with a rather low IQ
Wellington - scientifically inclined but insecure and absentminded
