And then there were THREE! Need name ideas *pics*

[NewBunnyOwner123]

Ok so my husband gave in and we are getting a third bun. About 4 months ago I saw this really cute VM dutch mix baby bunny that one of my facebook friends posted. She said he wasn’t for sale. I commented that I loved and wanted him and she messaged me saying that knowing the kind of owner I am she would be willing to give Bam to ONLY me, other then that, she was going to keep him. I told her to let me talk to my husband about it. Well my husband wasn’t keen on the idea just yet about a third bun. So I told her I couldn’t. Which wasn’t a big deal because I was fb friends with her and would see pictures of the bunny growing up. WELLLL I messaged her one day asking about Bam, how he was doing because I hadn’t seen any pics lately. She goes, “Oh, the pet store said he found a lovely home” I was so upset that she dropped this bun off at a pet store! I was so devastated not knowing what could happen to him. Over the past three months my husband finally decided to get a third bun. ( A LITTLE LATE!) so I have been looking around bunny after bunny but they never really reached out to me like Bam did. I still kept thinking about him and curious on how he was. He just couldn’t get out of my head! Then today I saw his picture on a rabbit rehoming site. I couldn’t believe it! I messaged her asking her where and when she got him. I showed her his baby picture and it IS Bam! It was like fate! 

Here are some pictures from the owner. I will update pictures when I get him I’m so excited! My favorite thing about him are his ears!  

btw, I need names! I don’t like the obvious pet names. I like them to sound I guess “normal” If you notice my other pets names are Sally, Harley, Abbie, and Brevin lol no odd names like Cadbury or snowflake :p 

[jerseygirl]

I’m relieved you came across him again!

Let me guess…he’s hit puberty? The timeframe seems to fit.
I hope there are no hiccups and you’re able to bring him home soon.
He’s completely gorgeous!

The first name that popped into my mind was Hamish. :p
Not sure why. Maybe it’s the “red” hair and blue eyes. He does have blue eyes right?

[bunnygirl]

What about Humphrey?

[bunnygirl]

Or Nicholas!

[Megabunny]

Oliver?

[NuggetBuns]

Congrats NBO, that’s such a great story! He’s absolutely stunning! For some reason, Benedict Cumberbatch came to mind when looking at the second photo of Bam up close. It might be his beautiful blue eyes and ginger coloring (Benedict’s natural hair color lol). He actually looks like a Benny to me.

Can’t wait till you bring him home and meets the family =) Hope you start a bonding thread!

[bunnygirl]

Ooh Oooh! Or Stanley! ^_^

[bunnygirl]

Or Noah…man I’m exploding with names right now, little excited!

[LopNessMonster]

Megabunny, I definitely think he looks like an Oliver or maybe an Alex?

[LolaBuns]

I like jerseygirl’s name…Hamish! Love it!

[LongEaredLions]

He looks like an Oliver to me too. Congrats NBO!

[LBJ10]

I’m still rooting for a Penn!

[NewBunnyOwner123]

Yeah unfortunately all 4 of her gals are pregnant. She was so upset that he turned out a boy because she thought he was pretty. But I’m so happy to see him again! I never thought I would see him again. He’s going to get neutered in a week or two. I’m so nervous about bonding. Sally and Harley were a breeze. They were love at first sight. Just hope that’s how it goes for this fella

Oliver and Benny sound cute so far. Hamish is different. I’m drawn to unique names too. I like Finn for some reason. But maybe that’s because I’ve been on a Glee marathon lol! I’m hoping when I get him home tomorrow the name will just reach out and slap me in the face! :p I’m terrible at naming lol

[NewBunnyOwner123]

Oh I like Stanley too. Stan the man! Haha

[NewBunnyOwner123]

He’s home and has already settled himself in He’s so cute and I love him already. I still need help. THe names just didn’t stick out for him. I’ll tell you a little about him. I don’t know much. One, hes small. Like really small lol he’s a very curious bunny and brave. Not afraid of the dogs. Was actually intrigued and came up to the gate to say hello. Harley tried to murder him and even then The Bun was so curious and seemed unaware of the danger. He flops alot. Practically anytime he goes to lay down…its an all out flop lol He’s prissy. Constantly cleaning himself. And he’s fast! 

 This was when I brought him home last night. He hung out with my on the couch for awhile. 

The rest are from today

He was at the gate where the buns room is blocked off. Harley didn’t growl or lunge! But he could definitely smell him. but I was relieved to see him not get desperate to like KILL him like he was last night. You can see Harley’s shadow on the other side 

Another flop

He’s doing great with the litter box! He still poop marks but that’s to be expected. He wants his cage to smell more like him. He’s getting neutered this coming Tuesday. But he has yet to pee outside of his litter box He didn’t appreciate me invading his privacy lol 

[Tessie]

He’s so beautiful! 
I’m so happy for you!

[Tessie]

Have you picked a name?

[LBJ10]

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! I want him! =D

[NewBunnyOwner123]

I think I’m going to just stick with Bam because it’s all I’ve ever known him as and maybe that’s why no names come to mind. Plus the more I say it the more it grows on me. And I’ve been saying it for the past 5 months lol

[Kbana]

Ok, I know you said you were going to stick with Bam, but…. One of may favorite all time books is The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. It is about a china bunny doll who gets taken from his little girl, goes through all these trials and tribulations over the course of his life, and finds himself back with her and her daughter as an adult when he is purchased at a doll shop some 20 odd years later. It just reminds me of Bam’s story. He found his way back to you almost miraculously really! Plus, Edward is so dignified. And, his character in the book is also very dignified. Through all his travels he learns to love others and those that care for him. (part of his miracle) So sweet and so charming.
Congrats to him for finding his forever with you. I truly believe it was fate. So happy for all of you. xo

[NewBunnyOwner123]

Kbana I love that story! It seems to match our situation so perfectly <3

[BunnyLady1989]

Aw this puts such a smile on my face and warms my heart such a beautiful journey with a perfect ending! I’m so pleased it all worked out for you NBO123. Little Handsome boy looks awfully happy with his new family. Bam is a cute name though! That story that Kbana mentioned is very cool tho too! Names are so hard to decide sometimes.

[jerseygirl]

I’m in love. Will be needing lots of pics NBO.

Bam is cute sounding and does fit. I also love what Kbana suggested. When I was reading what you wrote about his nature I was thinking he needed a Prince name. Edward certainly fits that. But yes, with those baby features… Bam. It fits well.

[NewBunnyOwner123]

Don’t worry you guys. You’ll be seeing a lot of him

[Bam]

He’s beautiful! Those pink inner-ears and the blue eyes! He looks so healthy and capable.

Bam is a terrific name for a bunny. I should know =)

When my Bam was new with me, the word bam became our family’s word for bunny and it still is. Look, there’s like 20 bams in the garden! Careful so you don’t step into a bam-hole! etc.

[NuggetBuns]

I was curious about the story of Edward Tulane, so I read a few snippets online and could not hold back the tears. I haven’t purchased a physical book in years because of my e-reader, but I think I need the book form of this beautiful story. Thanks Kbana for mentioning it! NBO, your new love is so handsome, glad you found him again!

[BunnyLady1989]

Oh my gosh….I just searched that book on amazon and I immediately started crying! Definitely buying this book ASAP! Now the name Edward does sound so perfect! Haha, maybe a middle name for Bam?

[Megabunny]

Wow!!!! Well, of course, Bam is a cute name. I always like to rename my pets. After looking up that book, I’m wondering about Edward, Eddie or Tully. But we’ll accept Bam if you want LOL

[BunnyLady1989]

Oh Tully is cute too! Lol, reminds me of Game of Thrones though…and that’s not very bunny friendly. No matter what you decide I will always be reminded of Edward

[NewBunnyOwner123]

Eddie! I love that name! It will have to be between Eddie or tully. I like names that end in the (E) sound. I’ll call him Eddie or Ed for short for awhile and see if it sticks I’m going to have to look up that book

[NewBunnyOwner123]

Or Edward and Eddie for short. Thanks you guys I’m going to see if these names stick. I wanted to change his name.

[Kbana]

Oh My gosh! It is the BEST book!! I read it every year to my 4th graders and have for the past 5 years. I cry every time it ends!!! Truly such a beautifully written story. You all will love it too if you read it. I love Tully and Eddie too. Sooo cute!

[Megabunny]

I don’t think I knew you taught 4th! I loooove that grade! Probably because they’re the youngest in the building and the older they get the less they want to have anything to do with me 🙁
Now I REALLY have to check out this book and make one of my teachers read it to the kids Ha ha

[Kbana]

Ha megabunny, true…by the time my older students graduate to 5th grade (which is the oldest in our building) they are too cool to say hi to me in the hallway anymore. I love this age. Perfect mix of everything.

Oh that’s good to hear from a teacher! We have 4-6th grade. Bleh! Those 6th graders are really tough.

[LongEaredLions]

So cute NBO!
I am in love with that book!
