Hi,
I have three ferrets, the boys are called Steve and William. I think naming animals after people is hilarious! Also calling animals after other animals, e.g. I used to have two rats, one called monkey and the other called squirrel owing to their fantastic climbing habits. Failing that, you can always call him 'Ray' :0)
Incidentally, ferrets make the greatest pets and they never cease to make you laugh whenever you feel a little sad!
