The Thea Rats are composed of a multitude of breeds (whether or not they have been revealed to the public yet) and their story that you have entered calls for some rules and regulations about naming your rat companion. As more breeds of rat are introduced to you all, the inmates, the rules shall be updated with more information about the "do and don't" of each type of rat.

Basic Rat Naming Rules
(Rules that apply to all breeds)
All rats require a title.
(The only exception is for experiment rats)
Take, for example, a female Victorian Rat. She requires in her name to have a title of either "lady" or "miss." Madame is also appropriate. They are noble rats, and should be treated as thus. The same applies to males. Their names must contain the prefix "lord" or "sir."
Also keep a lookout. Names of royalty are also discouraged against, such as King, Queen, Tsar/Czar, Emperor, Prince, Princess, etc.
Silly words won't be available to use either. So "Lady Frenchfries" would not be an appropriate name, but "Lady Absinthe" would be. Just as well, names must stick within the geographical area that the specific breeds are from for roleplay's sake. So if your rat is a Victorian Thea Rat, then try to come up with an English name. If your rat is a Steampunk Plague Rat, stick with a European name. A Japanese name would not fit with a European rat, an example being "Monsieur Yamamoto." It just wouldn't fit together right.
However, don't be discouraged. There are bound to be Asian breeds of rat released someday in the future, so just keep a lookout.
----
Mistress Rats
Mistress is strictly for the Thea Rat Mistresses, which is an elder breed composed of females only.
As the rats will be heavily roleplay-oriented should you all choose to roleplay with your ratties, the name regulations are important, and it is why "Mistress" will be a title reserved only for Mistress Rats.
----
The Victorian Thea Rat
The Victorian Thea Rats originally came from England, with their influences coming from their Victorian era theme. Because they are based off of Victorian England, they require old English titles (or other titles from the isle of Brittania should you choose).
Other appropriate terms suggested or used so far:
Duke, Dame, Count/Countess, Baron/Baroness, Milady/M'lady, Milord/M'lord
----
The Steampunk Plague Rats
The Steampunk rats may include most titles from countries of Europe (not Asia, including Russia, the Middle East and the Oriental countries). A good example would be, say, France. Spain, though it may odd (who knows?), would be doable, and so on. The style of the rats include heavy Victorian England influence, so English names and titles are most certainly welcome as well.
Other appropriate terms suggested or used so far:
Monsieur, Madamoiselle, Senor, Senorita
----
The Experiment Pterra Rats
The experiments are creatures born of asylum testing and, well, experiments performed by asylum doctors. Therefore they don't all adhere to the same organized civility that the normal rats use. Therefore titles aren't required in their names. However, they still must be reasonable names, nothing ridiculous, as before.
