Mike, your bunnies have the cutest names and you're such a good bunny dad!
My first bunny, Cinnabun, got his name because we love Cinnabon cinnamon rolls and my parents were considering purchasing a franchise at the time. I was 10 when I came up with the name and thought it was utterly brilliant at the time
Rory (aka Rhiordan) was named about 6 years before I got him. I saw one of those plastic signs people stick in the ground advertising some politician whose last name was Rhiordan and I thought Rhiordan with Rory for short was the perfect bunny name. Rory's name is still my favorite.
Tallulah was so named because it's a cute name and is Irish like Rhiordan. It means "princess" and went along with the meaning of Rhiordan which is "little poet king".
Skyler was named that because we thought it fit him and he flew to us on an airplane so it seemed to fit. He was a really tough bunny to name though, it took months! We knew we were getting him about 2 months before he came home and it took that entire time plus an additional month after we got him to name him. Whew. The problem was that he looked like an Ari to me but I didn't want a Rory and an Ari. About a year after we got him I ran across the name Cael which is also Irish and it would have been perfect for him but it was too late at that point. Oh well
Phoebe Mae took about a week to name. We got her after Tallulah died and I was still quite heartbroken. Phoebe is another name of Artemis who is the goddess of the moon in Greek mythology. I've always thought it looked like there was a bunny on the moon and after Tallulah died, I liked to look up at the moon and think of her. The Mae is because Tallulah's nickname was Maemae, which is what I called her 90% of the time.
Ned was hard to name too. The shelter named him Giovanni and his temporary (as in 1 week) home before us named him VanGogh. He was briefly named Paxton but we changed it to Ned about a week later. It's inspired by the character from the show Pushing Daisies. I love Ned's name and it fits him to a tee.
Kerensa was named about six months before we got her. My husband agreed we could get another Holland Lop (Tallulah was a Holland Lop) and we knew we wanted a girl so I started looking at names. Kerensa means "love" and I immediately knew it was perfect. When we saw our baby at the fair I knew it was our Kerensa!
Maximus was named after the adorable horse from the movie Tangled. Plus he was so teeny tiny when we got him and we thought it was funny to have such a little bunny named Maximus.
Mabel was named after a friend of my mother-in-law whose name is Mabel Hopp. She gave us permission to use her name. I also picked it because it has Mae in it. We call her by her nickname Macie about half the time and Mabel the other half of the time. Macie is after a darling bunny whose owner used to post here.
