Pet Raccoon names?

My best friend is going to get two raccoons, one for her and one for her sister. They've been looking for names for them. They don't yet know the gender but any suggestions?
Answers:
Raccoons do NOT make good pets. They are 'cute' as babies but they are not domesticated (selectively bred over many generations for traits that allow them to live with humans.) They will instinctively want to breed. The vast majority will get mean even if neutered and most will get grossly obese even if not neutered.
In my experience as a wildlife and exotic veterinarian, most of these animals end up in small cages outside after the first couple of years and have poor quality of life. Always gotten with the best intentions but a horrible end!
Oh and did I mention that they smell (read 'reek') when they reach adulthood--worse if not neutered. Very attractive to racoons of the opposite sex but not to human noses. (Think TomCat urine spray smell...)
And one last small 'fun' fact is if they EVER bite/nip ANYONE--even their owners, they will have to be euthanized and have their brains submitted for rabies testing. There is not an approved quarantine period (or approved vaccines) for pet raccoon. ALL raccoons that bite people (wild or pet) must be tested.

I have never heard of raccoons being legal as pets anywhere. They are wild animals. Are you sure this legal? I'd sure check it out. They don't tame well.

Call them Rabies and Tetanus, cause you can catch it from them.
Even "bottle babies" turn on their mommies within a year. Adult raccoons are so ferocious not even a full grown coyote will hunt one.
They are MEAN!!
You can't train them to be pets.
It's illegal to keep wild animals as a pet.
Raccoons that are raised by humans never learn to fear them. They can't be turned back into the wild, and zoos won't take them. They will wind up killed.
I'VE SEEN IT HAPPEN!
Volunteer with a wildlife rehabilitation center. You will learn so much about caged wildlife.

Do not get raccoons as pets. They are dangerous, illegal as pets in most places, and too much trouble.

I too just got a raccoon and tryin to figure out a name for him. Don't listen to some of these peoples. They probably never had a raccoon as a pet and don't know what their talking about. They can make good pets. It's all in how you raise them. I had one before but he ran away. He was so nice. slept in my bed with me, played with children. He never bit anyone. I think the reason why he never came back was because he found a female friend. And raccoons are legal to have as pets in some states. Just check with your local wild life center. And you'll need to get a license for him. And make sure you keep up with his shots. Raccoons don't get rabies from the air they have to be biten by an animal that carries the virus. On tryin to figure out a name. I'am lost as well. I hope you find a name and enjoy your little one.
