Crap. Big long post. SDMB hamsters ate it. They must not get along with my non-named hamster. So far, I’ve had a hamster named Nathan, Jr. (from Raising Arizona). Top two suggestions so far are: Weird Harold (from the Fat Albert character) Pablo ---

Excellent suggestions so far. I tried out both “Cecil” and “Schobel” last night. But now that I see Olentzero’s suggestion, I really think he may need a title at the end of his name. Plus, for some reason I was singing “you’ve not seen nothin’ like the Mighty Quinn” on my way to work this morning. Keep 'em coming! ---
