Great names for ferrets

I think COLUMBUS is a good name for a ferret because they like to explore and so did Columbus.

Hee hee. Good suggestion, Granma. :)

Lotta cute names there! Ours are named Pim (after a child on a kids show)
and Dwight after the Character on the "office"...

Thanks, Treasa :)

dont know if these have been said but, Giggles, Gaget,Widget, Mr. Wiggles, Pan

Thanks, Angela.

someone, sometimes - what's the difference?

Huh? What is this in reference to? Are you trying to make me more nuts than I already am? LOL!

A friend left this note on an article of mine:

Ummm...complement/compliment...

I'd love to have the chance to compliment the chef on how well the sauce complements the fish and vegetables!

and I immediately searched my article for where I might have used one instead of the other.

Um ... okay, but ... ?? What did this have to do with the article on ferret names? [I'm so confused!] So ... in your comment here from 2:44pm, were you really asking what the difference was between the word "someone" and the word "sometimes"?  (insert quizzical, confused expression)

I had a cat once named "Killer", I think it would make a good ferret name.  The owner could post a sign outside their door saying "Beware of Killer Ferret"....I did with my cat. LOL

Heh. I'm not sure, considering the reputation ferrets have as baby killers, that anyone would want to name their ferret "Killer", but I'll add it. I just got a ferret in (someone let it loose out of the car!) and we named it Jax.

OH wow, I did not know that ferrets have a baby killing reputation, please strike my silly name suggestion form the list.

Hey, I'm sure someone has named their ferret Killer. :)

insert - have you read your article looking for those words?

I constantly reread my articles - even after they are published.

In the critiques welcomed dept - read!

Okay, NOW I understand! LOL! I didn't know what on earth you were talking about! If you'd given me a hint (like: wrong word in article) or something I might have figured it out sooner. :)  I read that stupid thing so many times that I just couldn't see it. I fixed it, and thanks for letting me know! [In fact, I so could not see it that I had to do a search for the word "someone" and read the silly sentence twice before it hit me.]

Again, thanks and sorry to be obtuse.

Sometimes it helps to read each line backwards.

When pointing out corrections needed it is nicer to be a bit vague - it doesn't look so much like a critique then.

BTW - this was your hint:

Well, thank you for helping keep my articles error free. I'm a more direct sort of person. "Yo! You used the wrong word!" is fine by me. I don't mind direct critique. :)

Reading each line backwards sounds like it will make my brain hurt. A lot. I suspect a lot of my issues are due to the "old eyes" thing. I swear the font keeps getting smaller and smaller! I will try to be more perceptive to your gentle hints in the future.

Okay, I had a dog one time named "Chatterbox", maybe that's a good name for a ferret.  How about "Chat"  or Chatter"? 

I also had a dog one time that was born without a tail, LOL, we named him "Bobby", if you get one without a tail name him "Bobby".

That's a cute name, but I think I have a cool derivative: Chitterbox. It's a pun on 'chatterbox' and one of the noises a ferret makes is called a "chitter".

Gee, I thought "Bob" was the name of a boneless man in the swimming pool. (Horrible series of stupid jokes...what do you call the boneless man in the meat department? Chuck.)

Good for you Barb. What a great thing you are doing. And these names, wow!

It's funny how this post has turned into one of those that just keeping getting more added to it. It's a great resource for when I get unnamed ferrets in, though. :)

Oh wow. Can I use some of those names in my stories?

You have ferrets in your stories? :)  Sure, feel free.

Not ferrets, but a need and a lack of inspiration for interesting names of people and their pets.

Feel free! If you find any good ferret names anywhere else (think long and slinky) let me know :)

Now why in the world would you not want to continue calling a ferret Reefer, Snotnose, Booger, A$$hole or Retard?

LOL

This is a GREAT list!

Hee hee. Yeah, if I can't say it in front of old people or children without blushing, the name goes. :)

wow, you have quite the list there

I couldn't think of any others, maybe "LUCKY" as they are pretty daggone lucky to find someone like you to take care of them

Heh, thanks, Barb.

wow that is quite a list of names Barb!  they are all adorable

Thanks. I'm actually using this as a resource for names when ferrets come in without a name.

Have you read "Pocketful of Names"? It's a lovely novel set off the coast of Maine. You remind me of one of the characters that makes a brief appearance towards the latter part of the book.

LOL! No, I haven't read it. I hope you liked the character, or at least the character was colorful and not too terribly insane. :)

The character you rimind me of is vividly colorful and answers the question of the book's title.

Heh. Thanks :)

how 'bout penny lane?

That's cute :)
