An adopted rescue rabbit seems to always have a special place in their human’s heart and such a special bunny deserves a special name that will always remind you how you found each other.
People name their pet rabbits based upon their bunny’s breed, color, sex, and sometimes by how they got their bunny. If your new rabbit came to you as a foundling or rescue, that’s a very unique story that you’re going to want to make a part of your life together.
You can go with a name like “Friday” to always remind you of the day that you found your bunny. Or you could go with the month, or even the street name where you found each other.
As you sort through potential names, I encourage you to choose a unique name that will make people curious enough to ask about the origin of the name. After all, don’t you want lots of opportunities to tell the story of how you found your bunny?
