Rat puns, squeak jokes and whisker wordplay

About funny Rat names
Pet rats are clever, sociable and quick to learn a name, which makes them easy to name for a laugh. The word itself does most of the work, because "rat" hides inside so many others. Swap it in for cat, hat, that or art and you get Copyrat, Rat Trick, Rat's All Folks and State of the Rat, or find it already sitting in Aristocrat, Montserrat and Karate Kid.
The list leans on what makes a rat a rat. There are squeak puns (Hide and Squeak, Squeaker of the House), whisker and tail puns (Careless Whisker, Retail Therapy), gnawing jokes (General Gnawledge, Incisor Trading) and road puns on rodent (Abbey Rodent, Yellow Brick Rodent). Celebrity parodies include a few classics most rat owners know, such as Ratrick Swayze and Rat Damon, next to Ratniss Everdeen, Isaac Gnawton and Reese Whiskerspoon. Cheese shows up only as a punchline: Julius Cheeser, Gouda Vibes, Let It Brie.
A group of rats is called a mischief, so there is a strand for that too, with Snack Smuggler, Sock Thief and The Whole Mischief. Smaller groups of ironic tough names and deadpan human names round things out.
How to choose funny Rat names
- Name the pair together. Rats do best with at least one companion, so look for sets like Rat Race and Pack Rat, or Gouda Vibes and Let It Brie.
- Let the rat's habits pick the joke: Cord Cutter for a chewer, Hammock Tester for a napper, Hoodie Passenger for a shoulder rider.
- Keep a short call name ready. Ratthew McConaughey answers to Ratthew, and Reese Whiskerspoon to Reese.
- Ironic tough names land best on the smallest or gentlest rat in the group. Try Bulldozer, Apex Predator or Heavyweight Champ.
Frequently asked questions
What are some funny names for a rat?
The classics are celebrity puns such as Ratrick Swayze, Rat Damon and Ratalie Portman. This list adds Ratniss Everdeen, Rat's All Folks, Hide and Squeak, Careless Whisker, Julius Cheeser and Ratty McRatface, plus ironic names like Bulldozer.
What are funny names for two rats?
Pick two names from the same joke family. Rat Race and Pack Rat, Gouda Vibes and Let It Brie, Chew Jackman and Chew Grant, or Fine Rat and Pop Rat all work as pairs. For three, try Rat Deco, Rat Nouveau and Modern Rat.
Do pet rats learn their names?
Many do. Rats are intelligent and can learn to come to a name when it is used often and paired with a treat. Short, clear sounds are easiest, so give a long pun a quick everyday version.
Are these rat names family-friendly?
Yes. The list was written without crude or adult jokes, and because these are pets there are no jokes about traps or poison. The celebrity names are wordplay on the name only.
