What names did she give the mice?

A further brief recap for Yo: As mentioned above, Maggie has an affinity for small animals. They were some of her best friends growing up, and while she can't converse with them like she could in the Mythlands, her Godmother-granted gift of friendship with all small animals keeps her close to the critters in Parodiopolis and allows a certain understanding to pass between them, if not actual conversation. (Plus it forces Lisa's cat to be nice to her.)

She kind of made friends with a batch of Al B. Harper's lab mice, forever ruining them for science. They're now unofficially her "mouse guard" and a couple of them can be seen in the portrait I posted of her above.

To answer the question at hand, off the top of my head I remember Bunsen and Archimedes. The actual number and names of all the mice has never been revealed, and mice have this habit of multiplying anyway, so anyone can feel free to reveal or create more.

The naming convention for them is simply based on scientists... Pick a famous scientist and slap that name on one of the rodents. I'm lazy like that... The original Caphans were all named after female characters on Star Trek (with an added double vowel), and the Faeries were all named after flowering plants (Magweed and Camellia included... although Camellia's lot were all named after poisonous ones. I thought I had made up the name "Magweed", but Ian assures me that it's an existing name for cow-cluster across the pond.)
