About male rodents names
How male rodents names are built
A rodent name is one whole word from a gendered list, the largest pet pools in the set at 714 male entries and 786 female entries. "Hayden", "Yoshie", and "Harry" come off the male list, "Cottonball" and "Ella" off the female one. The pools mix light snack-style picks with a few formally grand human names.

Naming notes
Most entries are light and quick to say ("Pop Tart", "Winkin"), which suits a pocket pet, but the banks also hold formal surprises like "Fidelio" for a rat with operatic dignity. Tiny animals carry ironic grandeur well, so the stately options are worth taking. As a loose split, snack names suit hamsters and gerbils while rats tend to earn the human ones.
