Welp, I’ve finally come to ask for help. Long time binkybunnybrowser, first time posting. And here’s some background!
My little girl is a beautiful chestnut agouti mini lop. And she is completely wonderful. She’s only about three months old. She’s very energetic, loving, and tolerant of my shenanigans. She’s mostly free roam (she does have a big ol’ puppy pen for night time), and very well behaved. She hasn’t gone for any of my wires (yet?). To my surprise, she’s even got the litter box down already, after only a couple weeks and hardly any effort on my part. The only issue I’ve had was a few weeks ago when I got a new couch, when she suddenly became so determined to get behind/under it that she was going at the carpet just hoping it’d give. That calmed down when I provided another big box for her to sit in next to the couch.
Now things are better, and she is happily zooming and binkying around me as I type this. And making it a little bit of a challenge by trying to climb on my keyboard and nudge my hands. Oh, there she goes, flopped upside-down across the room. Guess she tuckered herself out.
My current issue: My little girl STILL has no name! I’ve been lucky enough to have her happy, hoppy, fuzzy presence around for almost a month, but I just haven’t been able to name her. When I first saw her photo and started prepping to bring her home, I thought I would name her Kiwi. When she was that little, she just looked like a little Kiwi (the bird and the fruit). But when I met her, I realized it just didn’t fit. She’s much more serious than the name Kiwi. She has her sassy little moments, and her “intimidating” moments (She does NOT seem to like my boyfriend, despite the fact that he lives here, too. And she will show that by thumping at him if he’s been particularly annoying to her.).
So I’ve just been calling her Bun. (Or Buffy the Banana Slayer, since she grabbed a banana peel out of my hand and tried to drag it off the other day) But she doesn’t have a true name, and I can’t figure out one that really just clicks. Help!
(Oh, and here’s the little bun)

Well, all of your bunny names have been noted for future fuzzies (I particularly liked Honeysuckle, that is adorable), but my bunny inadvertently gained a different name over the weekend. I had some family over for a few days, and it happened accidentally but clicked immediately. I know the name has been used before, but it just fit so well.
Anyway, one of my sisters called and asked about little bun, and she (thinking bun was a boy) suggested we call her Louie. When my sister discovered bun was a girl, she switched it to Louise.
A couple days later, when I had that family over, little bun started binkying all over the living room and zooming around her favorite path. At one particularly high and crazy binky (right over her toy ball), one of my family members yelled, “Jeez Louise!” I had told everyone about my sister’s name suggestion, and that’s just when it clicked. We all just started laughing when we realized how perfect it was. And, for the rest of the weekend, someone had to say “Jeez Louise!” every time she hopped around.
So meet little Louise, who I think it quite content with her new name. (Or with the fact that I bought fresh bananas yesterday, either way
)
