After Maple WoMER disappeared, Oakley Bunny looked so sad and lonely. So Melly said, when the time was right, that we would get a new bunny to keep Oakley company. And then she brought home THIS from BlogPaws! Is that a rabbit? It looks like an old man having a bad hair day! But no, Melly swears she is a rabbit. She’s some sort of weird cross between a mini-lop and something called a lion head. Frankenstein’s rabbit.
You might be thinking that Melly is a terrible photographer, she can’t even focus the camera! But you’d be wrong. This new rabbit is out of focus in real life! She’s like Jupiter, not that she’s a gas giant because she’s really pretty small, but because she has no definite boundary.
Oakley doesn’t know what to make of this new rabbit either. She knows she’s a rabbit though because she tried to beat her up when Melly put them together for a few minutes. Now they are only allowed to see each other through the bars.
Weird as she looks, apparently we are stuck with her. Now she needs a name. The people who turned her in to Little Miracles Rabbit Rescue called her Penelope. I kind of think she wants to leave her past behind and get a fresh start. I am asking my readers to put name suggestions in the comments to this post. Next week I will put up a poll with the suggested names.
You might remember that we had a contest to name my guinea pig co-pet, WBB1. He got a great name that suits him just right! I know my fans can do the same for the mystery rabbit.
Here are some initial possibilities:
- Penelope
- Duphfel
- Potatoe
- Lint
- Bounce
- Magnolia
We are no longer accepting name suggestions!
Please vote using the poll in the right side bar.
Such a cute new addition to the family! I woul her call Alberta. Alberta EInstein, because ….. just look at the first picture.
Messie!
After a glass of White Zin, we also thought of this one: Rasta-Fairie-Anne
Marietto!
Grimhilde, because the ear cleaning pic looks all, “here Snow White, have an apple!” Lol. She could be Hilde for short.
I think she looks like a Mabel
Quizzie
Jeri Garcia! We had a lionhead, the best guy ever, with that name!!!
She looks like a wooly. Or you could go for wooly bouncing bunny and have WBB2 lol
Leona!!! female lion headed bunny
Wilma.
I read over the suggestions and I agree with the suggestion for Hazel. Hazie Hazel and Maple are super cute together. I hope they figure something out and can get along. My daughter votes for FuFu. But then you might need to keep a ribbon in the hair to pull this off.
Iridessa. Because here coat kind of shimmers and glows.
What a lot of great suggestions came in! So hard to choose. Can’t wait to see the final result. Hopefully, Oakley will accept her soon. She’s a real cuddle bunny!
Cute bunny! Q-Tip fits
How about Little Beelzebub?
The style of the new bunny is just like Peter Pettigrew from Harry Potter series…..
I like Magnolia.
I think she looks like an Elspethe 🙂
Raggmopp
Magnolia Skye
Nimbus
Annie, as in Annie Oakley.
I didn’t even see anything saying Maple was gone? I’m sorry!
The new bunny is very cute. I like the Einstein references!
