I know it’s not the most sensible idea, so no need to tell me… But I’m in love, so here we are… It was considered long and hard, before reason gave way.
Any of you that follow my insta might have already seen him, and the wish for names!
He’s living in the bedroom, and Luna and Atlas have their usual run of the living room. So far, they don’t seem to have noticed strange bunny smells, which I’m pleased about, since Luna went crazy as soon as we brought Atlas home. Hopefully she’s feeling more secure now she’s bonded. I’m hoping that one day they will be a trio, but obviously that’s still a long way off.
He’s an 11 week old lionhead, and an accidental dwarf, which is why he looks so small. However, he’s eating, drinking, and pooping more than you would have thought was possible.
Name suggestions for the little puffball welcome. At the moment, I’m stuck on Nimbus or Ghost.

Oh my good grief he is adorable. I like the names Snowglobe, Cotton ball, Coconut (I don’t know why), Binky & Monkey.
Isn’t he <3 Coconut is a good one! He's too calm to be a Monkey so far… but no doubt that can all change haha
Presh!!! I love Nimbus! He looks like a little puffy cloud so that would work ![]()
How cute. What about fitting with your solar system theme, zeke is Arabic for shooting star, sol is the Latin name for sun or Oberon which is the moon of Uranus which consists of rock and ice
Haha yeah, A&B I thought he was exactly like a little cloud. But then I read that nimbus is a dark storm cloud… I’m probably overthinking it.
I like the sun theme too Eddyw. Then I’ve got a moon, a star and a sun
Oberon is a great name too though.
So many great names, so few buns…
Oh goodness!!! What a sweet little poppet! Your insta pic of him is adorable too. Teacup bunneh.
What about Comet? Or Nebulus (the fuzzy part) lol. Also, this is pretty cool; there is a meteor shower from the constellation Leo a few days ago! The meteors are called Leonids. http://www.cometwatch.co.uk/leonid-meteor-shower-2017/
Would Leonid be pronounced like Leonard, I wonder?
Too cute!!! I love the moon star and sun theme!
Aelius : derived from Greek word meaning “sun”
Apollo : god of many things including the sun
Samson: means sun in Hebrew
Sol : Spanish for sun
Ravi : Hindu sun god
Ra : Egyptian sun god
Cyrus : Old Persian for sun
Kyros : The Sun
I like Samson and Apollo , but there is something about Ravi and Kyros I like too
I really like Apollo, but I’m pretty sure someone on here already has a Luna and Apollo? haha
Jerseygirl – I read it Leo-nid, but that’s probably not how it’s actually pronounced. Leo is good since he’s a little lion too… (ps. what’s your insta?)
BM – so many sun words! I love Aelius – Atlas & Aelius sound adorable together.
Atlas and aelius do sound great together
That theme gives you options for future buns too… wind (alizeh , reva , aria ) water earth names , solar system , comets names ( Halley , Holmes , Hartley , Bennett )
Leo is very cute with the lion association
What about Aslan ? Lyon or kesar means lion , Kosey African for lion ,
Haha no, BM, no future buns! even if there is a lovely theme….
I do love Narnia, so Aslan is another good one
The list is getting longer and i’m getting more indecisive.
I must admit that the name question doesn’t interest me so much as the little one’s ears. I know he’s only 11 weeks old, but those must be among the smallest ears I’ve ever seen on a rabbit!
They’re typical lionhead ears
cute little triangles. He’s extremely small all round though, due to being a dwarf.
Oh, my goodness….that’s some ridiculous cute, right there!!!! Squee!!!!! Maybe you already named him? Puffball!!!! ![]()

Hi S&L
Im not on instagram but I looked up your handle in the thread we had in the Lounge recently.
Ah I see!
He is now officially Nimbus
Now to work on calling him that instead of the various ‘tiny’ nicknames I have for him already.
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
he’s so cute I’m gonna die!!!!!!!!!!!
He is such a sweet bunny. He binkies around like a crazy thing, then comes to snuggle up for cuddles.
Thought this was a good time to update with him in all his chunky 700 gram (1.5 pound) glory. (We had stopped on the way back from the vets, he was secured in a carrier for the journey!)

So fuzzy!!! I love those blue eyes! (At least they look blue to me?) hahaha.
Well I think it’s only fair you loan him out to people (I. E. Me) so I can truly see what it takes to look after a baby dwarf bun. It’s all for research obviously ![]()
I also have some tests to run….. I’ll need him when you’re done Sarah
![]()
Haha well next time i’m going away and need a bunny sitter, I’ll know where to come
And yes, his eyes are beautifully blue.
Awwwwww how adorable, i would have named him Cotton or Q-Tip, due in part to the white color and just to have a diffrent name than the norm. Love the name Nimbus you chose. Dont you just love it when he binkies there so cute when these tiny little ones binky there so fast and silly.![]()
