Hi! I own a black mini Rex bunny, he is 3 months old, and I've had him for 11 days now, and I have no idea what to name him!:headsmack
Any ideas? He has a super soft coat, and is super friendly! The 2nd day he was here he did a flop in his cage, and he does a flop on my lap to.
I need a name for him!!!

Also, I would like a name that's not a human name (ben,Andrew,Jack etc)
Thank you!

Hello and welcome to the forum!

If that's him in your avatar photo he's very handsome! I had a friend with a black mini rex named Rexie who recently passed away. They're great little buns!

My duo (Watson & Cricket) are named after scientists.
Maybe there's an author or character in a book or movie you like?

Hello and Welcome to the forum!

For names one could consider various themes...

Plant names like Basil, Pepper, Pumpkin, Rose, Daisy, Ivy.
Food names like Latte, Mocha, Snickers, Peanut, Burrito, Coffee, Popcorn, Cinnamon.
Or "sky" names like Orion, Pluto, Neptune, Draco, Galaxy, Nebula, Venus.
Or rock names like Quartz, Malachite, Copper, Clay.
Or weather names like Blizzard, Volcano, Storm, Dusty

But if you want to incorporate his black coloring, then think of things black in those themes...
Plant: ?
Food: pepper, cocoa
Sky: Nebula
Rock: Obsidian, Ash
Weather: Storm

Then there's always things like Ebony, Midnight, Shadow, Blackie

You could do obvious choices, like a name for his color, ie. Shadow, Midnight, Storm, Coal, Inky.
Or you could do something ironic like : Whitey, Silver.
If it were me, I'd name him Whisper, after that James Bond villain. But that's just me.
You could name him after a favorite song or movie character, or after a habit he has, like Flopsey.
He's super cute! I might name him Snuggles just because he's so cute.

Or, how the fur feels: Velvet. We have a dark brown girl that is 14 now--she looks a little shaggy now but at her age she can look any way she wants to. She is a very sweet little bunny.
