OK, I admit it’s hard for me to select a name, so please indulge me.
We are finding that Samantha is a bit of a mouthful to call her all the time, and she doesn’t seem to know it’s her name. So Mum and I have been wondering whether maybe it’s not.
So, we were running other names by each other now that we know what she looks like and how she behaves a bit more. BTW, my brother got her a hay tunnel that she loved this morning, though when I moved her cuddle cup out to make room, she thumped for the first time. NEW toy does not mean REMOVE OLD toy! Thank heaven my cage is too big for her. Not for her stuff. I digress.
Was thinking about shorter, ie. two syllable, feminine names. Plus Bunnykins of course.
Thought of Gidget.
Any thoughts? Suggestions? You like? She just hasn’t told me her name yet and I’m just not sure if I’m on the wrong track.
More pix: she dragged her cuddle cup over to her food dishes last night, sat in it, and leaned over to eat. So clever, and silly to see.

It is OK to change the name, Kahlua was ‘dusty’ or ‘dustmop’ and some other weird names for a couple of weeks while we picked out her name!! I do like samantha, but two syllable names for pets are best, since commands (ie. “NO”) are one syllable it helps them not get confused. But maybe you call her Sammy or bunkins
Either way she’s Kyyyooot!! -
Those eyeliner buns. I always nickname them cleo for cleopatra and males tony for Marc Antony. Those eyeliner buns remind me of old egyptian eyeliner in the movies.
Maybe even Nefertiti. Nefer for short? I was thinking maybe egyptian name for her. IN the end it is your choice. Not mine.
Hey if you are interested in those type names maybe look up old egyptian leaders pharoah’s and women leaders or egyptian names websites. I am sure you could find something suitable if that is your preference.
Maybe even Revlon or something. Ok I am being silly. I dont’ care for Revlon makeup one way or the other. anyways
Have fun.
Oh I know in arabic kohl is called antimony maybe timon ? Maybe my names are just too weird I dont’ really like normal everyday people names for buns. I like to be different.
Yeah my friends can tell cause I got a cougar for a ringtone on my cellphone. I found a neat website conservationcalling.com.ringtones I got the cougar and canaries for my hubby when he calls me.
I used to have a bull. A big angry moooo . Startled the busdriver one day when it went off he was looking in the street for a loose cow ahahaaa. HE slowed down and looked ahahaaa.
And my son was a werewolf for when he called me. Sounded more like a haunting of a ghost to me. they ahve neat rintones on that site. And they don’t email you either. A onetime charge and thats it.
How did I end up no this subject my mind just meanders around sometimes. have to excuse it.

I too have gotten used to Samantha and the Bewitched connection but if you feel it doesn’t fit…….maybe Samantha can be her second name along with Bunnykins. Then when she’s in trouble you can do the full name reprimand thing. “Dah-Dah Samantha Bunnykins, I’ve told you once, I’ve told you twice….”
Gidget is a cute name – fits a bunny, or even Bridget (as in Bardot) with those eyes! Bridget Bunnykins so her initials would be BB! Isn’t Bridget Bardot a big animal advocate? “Samantha” looks like a Panda also with her markings.
Have you got any others you’re tossing around? Often a name will stick if you see references to it through out the day or week. It’ll just keep popping up where you least expect it.
Edit to add: Weird! For some reason I just thought of “Joni” from Happy Days. (??
??)Then you could get her a boyfriend and call him Chachi
-
Happy Days ahaha. In the 90’s a song came out called the Fonze so the ex and I got out of the car and did the thumbs and aaaaaaa thing.
Our son looked at us like we just grew 3 heads. And we said yeah you know the Fonze remember. Then ex said oh yea he wasn’t born then. Ahahaaa poor kid poor us I felt old ahahaha. That felt so weird that he didnt’ know what we were talking about

Moo ringtones??? I was like “where’d that come from? until I re-read BT’s post. Totally missed it – lol
SweePea is verrry cute, I’m liking that one! How bout I randomly post it around on the boards and you’ll come across it and think ” Gee, that name just keeps popping up”.
I know, doesn’t work like that! -
One of the things I had meant to say in my earlier post, but that got lost during a net hiccup, was that you could use a few letters of the first name and a few letters of the last name…like Sabu…or Sambun. (In anime and manga, sometimes the long names are cut short to make them easier to relay to other otakus…like Fruits Basket is commonly referred to as Furuba.)
And of course, “Her Majesty” is also too long…
She looks so emo with those dark circles around her eyes. I can just hear the sarcasm now…lolz…..
She sure is an adorable bun though. I relate to your desire to sit at home with her exclusively, it’s days that one has to work elsewhere away from bunny that truly stink. >.< -
Whew! I had great success with my guys moving me in yesterday, then getting to work on time. They are so sweet – they returned the truck for me. I won’t move myself and Herself in for a few more days since this is major crunch week at work.
It seems that we are still calling her Samantha, so I think it’s final. MM, you are right though, and probably psychic, because this morning Sammykins just popped out. I am starting to like Sammy on occasion. Of course, she responds to none of it.
But she is getting to explore just a bit outside of her house, and is liking it. She has grown 5 ozs. since I got her. We weigh her on a food scale.
Must go to work. Must unpack. Must hire a masseuse…

Thanks for adding the links. I tried to embed them but it didn’t work. Steve is hilarious and does an incredible amount of binkies all the time! He was doing this for 5 minutes last night,

It’s surprising he runs around like that with no problems because he has a birth defect with his paws that cause them to turn out, but it doesn’t seem to bother him. He stands up on his hind legs for minutes at a time and I have to watch his “thumb” nail on his front paws.
