Making a Final Decision on the Name of Your Rabbit
Take your time as you choose the name for your rabbit. Since this is a name that both you and the rabbit will have to live with for a while, you want to be certain you are choosing the right name. Remember that there may be an occasion where you have to call out your rabbit's name in front of neighbors, friends or show judges. A name like Mr. Tinkles may be funny at the time, but when you have to call it out in front of your serious aunt, it might not seem as funny. Also keep in mind that a long name will likely be shortened, so think about any nicknames beforehand. With a little creativity and planning, you'll choose a name that is memorable and that suits your pet.
