What should I name my new gerbils...?

I just bought three new gerbils and I don't know what to name them. I know for sure that one is gonna be called Pompey but I'm not sure about the other 2. One's brown, one's grey, and one's white.

Update:

Not Pompeii. Pompey, as in Pompey The Great. He was a Roman leader. We learned about him in latin and I thought it was a stupid name for a guy but a good name for a hamster or gerbil. :]

Update 2:

Oh, and they're all boys. I'd take suggestions for all 3 names. I'm not completely set on Pompey.

Update 3:

Nevermind. They escaped and went into the wall. We can't get them out and they'll die.

:[

Update 4:

Nevermind again. :D After 8 hours I finally managed to get them all back. Silly boys.

    This was something that took first graders a very long time to decide. They had two boy gerbils (brothers). One is a brown eyed, dark furred gerbil the other is a ruby eyed blond. Some ideas were:

    Hershey and Marshmallow

    Nutmeg and Cinnamon

    Dr. Pepper and ?

    Mocha and Cappuccino

    There were tons more.

    Finally, we settled on Houdini and Nibbles due to their personalities. Houdini attempted an escape, and Nibbles chewed on everything and was the first to fetch treats from the kids.

    Gerry and Bill...get it? GER ry BIL l

    Or, if you are going to call one Pompey (I think you mean Pompei?) then call the other one Vesuvius.

    Oh...I just reread your question...you have 3, not 2. Well call the other Aetna (after Mount Aetna).
