        I know how you all love to name rabbits!! I was just on a new member’s thread who is trying to name her bunny right now and it got me thinking. If you could go back in time and re-name your current rabbit, what would you choose? 

        Knowing what I know now about their personalities, we would have named Pumpkin, “Taco” after the really un-intelligent, naive character from the TV show The League. She’s just really not smart and I love that about her. We would have named Shamrock,”Ninja” because he’s all black like he’s dressed as a ninja and does these super crazy ninja zoomy moves!

        What name fits your bunny’s personality?

          I won’t answer that question since this is a family friendly forum…

          The hubby said we should change Oscar’s name to “Shitzel”.

          Ninja is an awesome name!

            LLH- Annie’s name at the shelter was Ninja.

            The first one that comes to mind is I would rename Backers. When Annie had her litter, we gave them all temporary names. His back is mostly black, so he was Black back, now Backers. The name just stuck. Honestly I think I would name him Nancy because he’s such a scaredy cat.

              If I could rename my rabbit based on her personality… it might be miss piggy. He eats a lot and gets super aggressive when its morning pellet time and when I give her treats.

                    LLH – they called her that because when they tried to handle her, she boxed at them – like a ninja chop. Sigh. Yeah, I changed that name right away.

                      If I had the chance, I would have named Bucky differently, although my boyfriend was at the pet store going what are you going to name him? I told him shadoe as that was the first name that popped into my head and then he was like nope its Bucky. Although looking at his personality now, I would call him Ser Hopsalot, kinda of a spin off the Game of Throne way of doing their knighthood and Lancelot. Yeah, although if Bucky had of been a female bun, I would have been changing the name to Morgana since I have a love of Arthurian legend and there are quite a lot of names I would use from there.

                        I’d probably go back and name Meki “Sassafras” so I could just call her Sass or Sassy for short. Nearly renamed her to Sassafras within a few days of experiencing how sassy she was as a baby!

                          You crack me up Hazel!
                          I think if I had to re-name my bunnies Lionel would have ended up being Ollie or Leo and Roxie might be Trixie just because I think those names are darling.

                            I always wish I had come up with another name for Luna, so I’ve thought about this before. I think if it were socially acceptable I would name her again!

                            In terms of her personality ‘fatty’ would be very appropriate

                            But if I was renaming her I’d probably go with Summer, or Pandora, or Elfie, or Aroura.

                              Hmm, that’s so hard! Moxie was kinda named after her looks and her personality. “Moxie” because of all her spunk, and over here “Moxie” is a black soda. She’s black and spunky so Moxie it was lol! (I was actually considering Dixie for a while)

                              If I went back in time, I might name her something more “Elegant” like Paris or Larka, but I don’t think that would fit her. Those are the next 2 names of my future buns (that are girls) BTW.

                                MM-I think Moxie ended up being the perfect name!
                                Tessie-I can relate with fatty….
                                LEL-I like Trixie, reminds me of the Rabbit for the Trix Cereal! And he’s white too!
                                Meketaten-Sassafrass is great. Reminds me of a big fat grumpy cat lol
                                So Fluffy-Sir Hopsalot!!! Cute!!

                                  I wish I’d given Yohio a better name, it was the first Japanese name I could think of (He’s a Japanese Harlequin although very faintly marked and absolutely of mixed origin). But since Manny is taken, there are no really good bunny names left in the world, so I guess he might just as well be called Yohio. I often call him “Gul” though, it means yellow in Swedish.

                                  Bam on the other hand has the perfect name. He really is Bam.

                                    I would rename Gypsy to Crazy because she is truly the most insane rabbit I have ever known. Or maybe Skittles because you never know what color of crazy you are going to get with her. Lol.

                                    I just picked Oliver’s name so that’s about the only name I got for him other than calling him moppy floppy since his ears are like constantly mopping my floor.

                                          I’m late to this but this seems like fun!
                                          When I first got Mimzy, a little girl named her Tiny since she was a baby then. So I quickly changed it & immediately thought of Mimzy from the movie The Last Mimzy. It was a white rabbit in the movie so it fit & felt perfect! Although sometimes I really think her name should be Miss Chievous

                                          Obi-bun Kenobi’s original name was bunny which is cute but not creative enough so I went with a pun name If I could rename him based on personality, his name should be Thumper or Sneezy like from SnowWhite. He sneezes so often! I asked the vet about this but he didn’t seem concerned, maybe a quirk?
                                          I was actually going to name him Patch/Patches & he would be my little Pumpkin Patch

                                                  As most of you already know ‘I’ would have named Henry ‘Alice’ if I had of thought of it before getting him – I don’t know how or why I came up with the name Henry??? Blair was NOT impressed! For weeks we kept telling him we were getting ‘Henry’ and when he finally arrived I excitedly called out to Blair to come see Henry – he took one look, showed his utter devastation, turned around and left the room. HUH? Then it clicked – he was expecting Henry the Octopus (from the Wiggle’s) ha ha ha ha ha! Yep, he was super disappointed!

                                                  Soooo, as the last 2 years have slowly gone by and Blair has finally accepted him as a bunny and not an Octopus, I should have called Henry ‘Harry’. Blair can’t pronounce the ‘N’ and calls him Harry.
                                                  So, maybe Harry???

                                                        LOL! Yes Justina, this is what Blair was expecting.

                                                        I’m sure if he could talk he would have said “that’s NOT Henry – this IS Henry!” Ha ha ha ha!

                                                        PS – When Blair spotted Henry (the Octopus), he dumped everything and ran at him  lol! Have you ever seen a scared Octopus looking in every direction for somewhere to dive and hide??? Blair almost knocked him out in a tackle – he got a bit excited  ha ha ha ha!

                                                        PPS – If he could…. he would have picked him up and brought him home, lol! Oh, and excuse the wet clothes, we just came off a water ride, and poor Blair copped a huge splash (better him than me! ). Ha ha!

                                                        Oh, and Blair was 18 – we took him to Dreamworld at the Gold Coast to visit Wiggle World for his birthday. We ended the night at the Casino (in Australia 18 is the legal age) and tried to teach him how to play BlackJack as every good parent does….. ha ha ha ha!

Kieko would be Pez (as in pez dispenser). Marlee’s tough, maybe Beyonce or Mariah for the diva in her?!

                                                                        I still like my original intended names for the M&Ms — Marley for Moshi and Peaches for Marlee. I like Humphrey and Harvey for a boy bunny too, Bella for a girl. I also like the name Bizkit!

Wish I would have though HP when we got Pumpkin, but I probably would have ended up naming Pumpkin Ginny bc of her color and only noticed her Luna personality later!

                                                                                          Bucky’s name was changed into Princess Laurana Fluffybuns and we both agreed that when we get the second bun, which will be a shelter bun will be named to Tanis Half-bun, basically we took the names from the book series of dragonlance and added our own little spin onto it.
