[@axelb9043]

Top five mice names .Golf, echo, Romeo, Tango and India

[@SlendysWatchingMe]

This is the best one!

[@gwenthomas4567]

I vote for these names!

[@jennyd747]

Yes this one!!!

[@Nosmo90]

Winner winner, chicken dinner (I hope)!

[@WaterBrosMusic68]

kelly smith I vote for these! I was going to suggest Snoppa Doop, but it may cause for domestic confusion with Carolyn.

[@KarliMeaghan]

Scary, Sporty, Baby, Posh, and Ginger: The Mice Girls

[@ShyGuy2610]

I'd say they should be named after the cheese tray, so Camembert, Brie, Stilton, That gooey one, and Cheddar.

[@amyhaigh1079]

Oh dear, I'm not sure "that gooey one" bodes well for the mouse in question. It rather sounds like what it would be called after Carolyn got involved with these hypothetical mice.

[@strangerthanstring4431]

Isn't it the "swidgey" one?

[@Stephen_The_Waxing_Lyricist]

Have you thought about opening a rat sanctuary? It's an unpleasant job, but someone has to do it.

[@Lothiriel84]

How about Carrie, John, Lawry, Margaret, and Simon?

[@brandyblackshear4470]

Mike, Oscar Uniform (You can call her Uni...or him... or the singular they/them) Sierra Echo Because together they spell Mouse (singular so you only have 1 mouse)

[@rambletash]

My top five mouse names would be names of animals that definitely aren't mice, just in case the mice wanted to keep their identity a secret. I'd suggest: Magpie Ostrich Urchin Snake Elephant Because that spells mouse!

[@amberish755]

Since Fizz and Buzz only have one sylla- sound in their names, it makes sense that another mice that may (or may not) exist in the flat also be called one sound names. If I were to find 5 other mice I (definitely not Arthur) would name them (in size order) 'Ave A Ba Na Na Now I know you're thinking having two mice named Na and Na would be confusing, but luckily, you're not naming them, I am, and I can definitely spot which is Na and which is Na. If I'm ever not sure, I try to remember that Na is the smallest mouse while Na is just a tiny bit bigger. Also one Na is grey while Na is brown. They make a very cute family (but don't tell Caroline I said that) , Fizz, Buzz, 'Ave, A, Ba, Na, Na I bet Douglas and Herc would make a game out of that.

[@scintillantflea4698]

brilliant!

[@gtimun]

Fizzlet, Buzzlet, Fuzzlet, Bizzlet and (thanks to autocomplete) Guzzler.

[@RealUnimportant]

Nigel, Noel, Holly, Ivy, Carol.

[@IOW14]

And Bert!

[@eliascrab]

And BERT

[@aiyamusicchannel]

And Merry Christmas!

[@gus8824]

My top five names for mice, as it so happens, are Rice Krispies, Frosties, Cornflakes, Coco Pops and Multigrain Shapes!

[@sionashoo]

I have consulted with my 4-year-old (who loves mice and rats, and has a penchant for names) and he has declared: "Jackal, Ginny, Johnno, Jenny, and Li'l Georgie"

[@AJDrinko]

Tally, short for Talisker, make sure Douglas doesn't try and steal him/her Toby, short for your favourite chocolate Toblerone Simon, so you can pretend you are playing simon says if your mum is around. Johanne, so you can remember your trip to Johannesburg Hester - the name of your favourite actress Bonus: Russell Crowe because it is a name that sounds evil but isn't (and you can pretend you are talking about the actor and not a mouse)

[@sarahdeacon3563]

The five Ws: Who, What, Where, When and Why. They also work as code names: Who did that (?) Why, did you do that? etc

[@liquidwitch95]

I reckon you should name these theoretical mice after Brians of Britain: May, Blessed, Cox, Jones, McFadden. It's good because they're names which can fit all genders of hypothetical mouse, in case you're not sure.

[@AdmiralJota]

You left out Holness.

[@michaeltiney2214]

For the mice they can be named after what should have been the phonetic alphabet for M - Milly; Molly; Mandy; Mo; and M (pronounced muh)

[@antoniachanner8651]

Arthur, if you don't want your Mum finding out, we could name them Fizz's babies after noises you might just happen to make in the flat anyway? How about Bang, Crash, Sneeze, Thump, and Stamp? That way if you want to call Stamp, all you need to do is stamp your feet... and Mum need never know about your new friends...

[@oldbowdy1712]

Maybe a collective name.. .. The Famouse Five!

[@pyrophiliac]

If one wanted to obscure that they were talking about mice, one might theoretically use names of various athletes: 1) John (Daly) 2) Stephanie (Rice) 3) Roger (Federer) 4) Benedikt (Höwedes) 5) Tony (Hawk)

[@eliascrab]

Shlomia Berrin Yes.

[@KarliMeaghan]

John, Paul, George, Ringo, and Pete

[@katebroadhurst9168]

Congratulations, Fizz and Buzz! I look forward to wetting the babies’ heads, and since there are five of them, it may be a long night. The naming of mice is a difficult matter, not just one of your lockdown games. Arth, Nold, Mana, Katze and Man was my first thought. Then I realised that the only names for these little furry bundles of joy could be Brie, Camembert, Emmental, Roquefort, The one in the Squidgy Foil packet (that last could be abbreviated to Squidgy if necessary).

[@SereneClaws]

I so thoroughly enjoyed this video, thank you Arthur! P.S. That's the most subtle thing I think I've ever heard you say, and I'm quite impressed.

[@lenapredmyrska9502]

Name them Here, Iyem(I am) Don't, Tread, Onme(on me). It was a brilliant song, both in lyrics and execution!

[@daochi100]

5 more mouse names Fay Mouse, Anoni Mouse, Autono Mouse, Enor Mouse and Veno Mouse. All a bit cheesey!

[@KarliMeaghan]

Mike, Oscar, Uniform, Sierra, and Echo

[@bewareoftheginge]

Top five mouse names: 'the', 'lemon', 'is', 'in', & 'play'

[@roseofoulesfame]

I think the CEREALS should be called Coco, Tony, Poppy, Fuzz(Fizz + Buzz), and Crackle : D

[@KarliMeaghan]

Reepicheep, Stuart, Roscuro, Scouse, and Mr. Jingles

[@vboost]

My kids (autumn & lettie) suggest: Tallisker, Piano, Yellow car, Lemon & Gertie or Brilliant!

[@PlayerPepper]

I can't think of better names than everyone else, but thank you so much, you're the person who always gives me the best and heartiest laughs.

[@carrotcakecat]

Well I think that some nice names might be A've, A, and Banana. But that's only three.

[@cassieruddock]

'Ave A Buh Nah Nuh (That's five!)

[@carrotcakecat]

@@cassieruddock Ooh yes! I like that.

[@Stephen_The_Waxing_Lyricist]

Did you know baby mice are called pups and pinkies? And baby rats are called either pups or kittens. So, if your mum complains about rats and mice, tell her honestly that you have pups and kittens!

[@mw6300]

Awww!!! Congrats fizz!!! Oh the little mic-I mean, cereal boxes, HAVE to be named Douglas, Martin, Arthur, Caroline and Herc surely?!?! Definitely my top 5 favourite names

[@zee_silivalleygirl]

1) hum 2) dee 3) dum 4) diddly 5) doo So when you um. Say the names out loud, it will sound like you are humming. You know, if you happen to say “hi, diddly dee, a pirate’s life for me!” No one will be able to tell your saying hello to two of the mice.

[@PeppaCat23]

Congrats on the new ‘boxes of cereal’ 👏🏼😜 How about your mum’s favourite dwarfs: Loony Silly Dummy Loopy Ditsy 😊

[@OperaLily]

Djbouti, Qikiqtarjuaq, Helsinki, Timbuktu, and Xinzhou. If we're going to make a lot of names for nameless things, they'd better be fun to say. :D

[@KarliMeaghan]

OR Golf, Echo, Romeo, Tango, India

[@graemewatson3754]

Has to be Golf, Echo, Romeo, Tango, India. Gutted to find others thought faster than us... Which failing Michael, Micky, Mick, Mi, Mmm.

[@Hanzmeister21]

Got to be the Jackson 5 I reckon. Or some of the dwarfes. X 😁😁 well done fizz. 🤐🤫🤫 xxx

[@michaeltiney2214]

On a slightly off tack response. When your mother let us come along on your trips (probably to help keep the airline afloat - or, as it is a plane and not a boat, rather keep it in the air) one of my favourite journeys was to Limerick. So my attempt is no Vishny volochek but here goes; bing bong! There once was a Shappey named Arthur Who in lock-down made vlogs to ponder; Quizzes and lemons, Mice and some penguins, And a blast on the tuba from mother!

[@adrianbradshaw1465]

Whizz, Vroom, Whoosh, Screech, Twang

[@dobbytitch8653]

Arthur, I hope you're the godfather!!

[@boomhaueruk]

Bear, Horse, Sheep, Bee and Goose. Your mum will never suspect they're mice names.

[@aalin5701]

I've been having a rubbish, sad day and you've really made me smile and actually laugh (Just with merriment not at arthur). Thank you 😊 top 5 mice names: 1) Percy 2) Sqeaky (which is nice cus their parents can say it too) 3)eek (also mouse language friendly) 4) Scrabble (not mouse lanuage friendly BUT it describes how they move and its a game, so two good things) 5) Dot- cus little baby mice are wee little dots, and because seeing them make some people dotty!

[@Amethystasheryn]

Arthur, I am impressed by how much your piano playing has improved since you started! Congrats on that! And not on the new mice, which you do not have.

[@andrewfaraday8918]

I’d call any hypothetical quintet Bab, Beb, Bib, Bob and Bub

[@Aegopodium]

So I was right! At least one cereal box should be called Banana. Because Fizz, Buzz, have a Banana! There! You could name the remaining four "yellow car", "travelling lemon", "camel camel" and "Bear polar". Because Carolyn will never guess it's cereal boxes you are talking about...

[@emedeiros8167]

Wow, five new cereals! How exciting. Mouse names... gosh, that's harder. Banana, Peaches, Strawberry, Dragon, and Star. I stuck with fruit, because I like to put fruit in cereal.

[@karin.m.b]

You've gotten really good at the piano Arthur. And congrats to Fizz and Buzz on the babies.

[@marchampson08]

Dear Mr. Arthur Shappey Esq., These are our top 5 favourite mouse names: 'Avva', 'Banana', 'Gertie', 'Goofy' and 'Calippo'. Hoping this finds you still enjoying lockdown; the piano playing is coming along BRILLIANTly. OK, Bye! Marc, Abigail and Holly

[@girlwithcow]

I always liked the names Arthur, Martin, Douglas, Carolyn and Hercules. I'm not sure why, but they are brilliant!

[@SeventhEve]

Snap, Crackle, Pop, Tony, and The Cap'n.

[@shortstackashe]

I'm thinking, maybe, Snap, Crackle, Pop, Whiz and Bang

[@hollyhampson7310]

This is BRILLIANT!!! I suggest 1. Chris 2. Alison 3. Miranda 4. Stevie 5. Gary I chose these from when your ‘look alike’ was on the show Miranda playing the character of Chris!

[@claireskipsey8804]

Lots of great ones have been taken! Some other ideas from us: Floofywhiskers Goofy Doc Shishishka Bahoosh Toblerone

[@addie_is_me]

I feel like if your mum is watching it is because of Herk watching. Herc is definitely a fan.

[@IzzyWoolrych]

I think my top five names would be: Golf Echo Romeo Tango India I can imagine you must miss Gerti very much, so it would be nice to have a reminder until you can be reunited with Gerti and the rest of the crew. Plus, it wouldn't be at all suspicious to be telling us about the adventures of Gerti, or anything that you might imagine Gerti getting up to during quarantine!

[@jaywilliams8206]

When naming things that are hard to tell apart and that come in 5s, I like Moe. You can sing "5 mice named Moe" top the tune of 5 guys, so they'd have their own themesong.

[@Thiefree]

Five! five little cereals, congratulations! you know what I think five good names are? Snap, Crackle, Pop, Bang and Pow. Fine names, those.

[@susanhornby1179]

Theoretical mice names. After famous mice. Pixie, Dixie, Mickie, Minnie and Mighty.

[@lucasgillett4321]

As we are "obviously" just talking about cereal here, I think 'Snap', 'Crackle' and 'Pop' would be three fitting names. And maybe 'Coco' and 'Puff' for the other two?

[@heleng2930]

I think that you should draw inspiration from your surroundings for the names, and call them Frosty, Cornflake, Cocoa, Rice and Krispie!

[@sebandrews4395]

Obviously, there's no reason why you'd want to have more names because there aren't any more mice. But THEORETICALLY, IF you had five more mice, you may want to name them after things that Caroline likes, so that she might find a soft spot for them and not tell you to do anything... unkind to them. For instance, maybe... Debbie, after debating (or arguing). Lenny, after Lemon. Sheila, after Sheep. Claire, after Airline. And Dougie, for, I don't know, maybe a funny memory she has attached to that name. There's some examples, I hope that helps!

[@TheChainedWolf]

Top five mouse names: Carolyn, Douglas, Herc, Martin and Theresa.

[@brandyblackshear4470]

Fearing this would cause confusion you could call them Carolyn-Mouse, Douglas-Mouse, Herc-Mouse, Martin-Mouse, and Theresa-Mouse... or if that would cause somebody to get suspicious we could call them M for the first letter of their name Marolyn, Mouglas, Merc, Mheresa, and.. um... Martin.... ooops.

[@rachelmma]

@@brandyblackshear4470 moustin???

[@YourQueerGreatAuntie]

I thought this too! But if it causes confusion, just say it twice when talking about the humans... i.e. Carolyn-Carolyn (or Mum-Mum), Douglas-Douglas, Herc-Herc, Martin-Martin (or Skip-Skip) and Theresa-Theresa (or Your Highness-YourHighness). See? Simple!

[@jonidowns9819]

Seconding the people who have said Golf, Echo, Romeo, Tango and India, because, BRILLIANT. But for what it’s worth, I think Macnamara, Mitchison, Moon, Molecule and Milly-Molly-Mandy are quite good. I never can remember the phonetic alphabet for ‘M’.

[@KgrK13]

So glad you located Fizz! It sounds like congratulations are in order! You mention needing five mouse names, perhaps Fizz Jr, Buzz Jr, Have, A, & Banana? (Not sure about the first two names, but pretty sure the last three might be popular choices.)

[@picklethewonderdog1929]

I think the "cereals" need proper grown up names. How about Mr Birling Madame Szyszko Bohusz Mr Alyakin Farmer Fisher Princess Theresa I've done a mix of male and female names but I don't suppose they will mind too much what they get given.

[@FLAMINGNORA]

Names for mice: Grumpy, Sneezy, Sleepy, Happy and Doc

[@callan816]

I have no idea why but o just love the names Benedict, John, Stephanie, Roger and Steve

[@nicholasrobinson18]

If I had five mice to name, in a hypothetical world of course, I would name them: Maverick, Goose, Slider, Chipper and Charlie

[@jennyoakes3033]

Hi Arthur - you might like to know that on Radio 4 today, Sunday May 17 at 1915 (that’s after the Archers, so 7.15 in the evening) there’s a fly-on-the-wall documentary (not a real fly, they can’t hold the recording equipment) about an airline. Bizarrely there’s a steward in it called Arthur, but he’s not terribly good at it, so you, Arthur, may want to provide other Arthur with some guidelines

[@kittykat520]

Maybe you could name them after cereal mascots sinve this is how you discovered them. Like Snap, Crackle, and Pop from rice krispies. Tony from frosted flakes. Lucky from lucky charms maybe?

[@annalisayoung]

The first names that pop into my head are: Stephanie, Roger, Antony, Benedict, and John. Not sure why...

[@kerensag6695]

Mackie, Mockers, Mirkle, Snickerdoodles and Pumpernickel.

[@Electroceratops]

Name them after those five cereals. Or just collectively name them the Banana (because Fizz, and Buzz, had them). When my parents' neighbours' cat had kittens in my parents' living room (probably part of her long-running campaign to move in), my parents gave them the collective name of The New Potatoes, in reference to my best friend's niece having been known as Spud until she was born and named. Although my dad did then name his favourite kitten Flash, because of the huge orange patch on her head.

[@minervacerridwen]

Banana, Apple, Pear, Strawberry, and Dragonfruit. Or Douglas, Herc, Little Martin, Paramount Martin, and uhm... John, after your friend!

[@tayet6875]

Feodore, Feivel, Fitton, Fergus, Fibbs

[@aven1244]

Perhaps Snap, Crackle, Pop, Pow, and Kerplunk because Fizz and Buzz seem to like cereal so much? They're also sounds, just like Fizz and Buzz, so it would fit the mouse naming theme.

[@angeleyes9964]

Louise aged 11 suggests Arthur jnr, Martin, Caroline, Douglas and Herc sound like top 5 Mouse names.

[@frances6013]

You could name them after the cereals as they are clearly a popular choice for mice

[@IOW14]

A lot of excellent choices made already. If they were Molokai mice how about Sugar, Petrus 2005, Auspicious Pig&Whistle, Tictac and Bert? Of course altogether you could refer to them as the Surprising Mice.

[@theradicaldisciple]

Caroline, Herc, Douglas, Martin and um Kevin?

[@tealightwhimsy]

1) Fizzykin 2) Buzzykin 3) Fizzywiz 4) Buzzyboo 5) Ned

[@madeleineswann4310]

Mice names: 'ave a banana (or banana for short), Benedict, Roger, Stephanie and John

[@classicalellie]

you should call the mice Moloka'i, Ottery (St Mary), Uskerty, Saint (Petersburg) and Edinburgh

[@joshandrews5251]

How about calling the mice Martin, Caroline, Douglas, Herk and Arthur

[@Brycanthe]

Snap, Crackle, Pop, Coco, and Kay (for the most special one)

[@aiyamusicchannel]

Sleepy, Dopey, Grumpy, Happy, and Bashful

[@KettleandString]

what about naming those "cereal boxes" after places you and the crew have visited? M - Molakai O - Ottery (or Mary) U - Uskerty S - St Petersberg (maybe Peter for short) E - Edinburgh

[@TheCommanderCosmo]

Basil, or Baz for short! I don't have any other top names because why improve if you've found the perfect one already?

[@lonerChise]

if they aren't named Chip, Dale, and Gadget ... what are you even doing with your life, Arthur

[@jowithers3646]

Salt, Pepper, Mustard, Lime, and if one goes missing, Lemon!

[@b112-9]

Lovely to hear that Fizz is doing well, and has decreased in girth for reasons unspecified! And what lovely little cereals; tremendously cunning! I think that good names include: Anne, Jem (or James), Jo/e (short for either Joseph or Josephine), Maeve, and Cosmo. Honourable mentions, depending on the, er, cereal's sexes, go to the names Elizabeth, Saoirse, and Walter.

[@stephenpigott1738]

From The Pigotts in Bermondsey: Top five mice names: 1) Havabanana 2) labearpolar 3) golf 4) tango 5) india Losing out: Berling Talisker and Madame Szyszko-Bohusz And also: Patek and Philippe The Pigotts: huge Cabin Pressure fans. Listen on journeys and generally. Kids go to sleep listening to episodes most nights! Stephen and Kath (daddy and mummy). Hannah (11), Josiah (8), Jess (6).

[@stephenpigott1738]

My 8 year old son has added some new contenders: Patek and Philippe! Genius!

[@susanwoodshore4771]

Martin jr (aka Skipper), Douglas jr, Herc jr, Gerti jr, and Otter (or Mum jr, but that would get a bit confusing).

[@mistyanne6723]

How about Lemonie, Havabanana, Gerty the 2nd, Skip Jr, and Mini Bear Polar?

[@oniondust]

One idea for 5 names: Gigi, Eenie, Ari, Tilly, and Ivy. G, E, R, T, and I.

[@bchandran4067]

Hello, Arthur. Lovely video. While, I think it was smart of you to buy a new set of cereal boxes for yourself, I'm not so sure that your mother wouldn't have understood the implication. I hope things settle down soon. Regarding the random question of top five mouse names, you could simply gather a list of names you already know. For eg: Mouse!Arthur, Mouse!Carolyn, Mouse!Douglas, Mouse!Herc, and Mouse!Martin. I hope Douglas's advice on coming up with names you already know (either for yourself or five hypothetical mice) might help you here. But if that leads to confusion, you could always try picking names from Martin and Douglas's list of 'Brians of Britain'.

[@shanaziolko5157]

Happy to hear that Fizz is well! How about: Foxtrot Tango Zulu Bravo Charlie

[@brynhildhovden7888]

You could just continue the mousic alphabet and call them Barthur, Carthur, Darthur, Earthur and Farthur :)

[@mandiholt3046]

Snap, Crackle and Pop plus two other onomatopoeia words. Maybe Squish and Squash? Maybe not.
