Bunny

Bunny takes its name from the informal English word for a rabbit, itself derived from the archaic bun — a dialectal term for a squirrel or rabbit tail, possibly of Celtic origin. Bunnies have been symbols of softness, springtime, and gentle innocence across many cultures. As a pet name, Bunny works beautifully for actual rabbits but has long been given to other companions as well — any pet who is particularly soft, sweet, and irresistibly fluffy can earn this endearing title.

Bunny is a name of total, unguarded tenderness — there is nothing complicated about it and nothing to hide. A companion named Bunny is simply meant to be adored, and they typically make it very easy. The name suits fluffy, soft, pale-colored companions especially well, but truly any pet with an instinct for hopping into laps and making themselves the center of gentle affection can carry it beautifully. Bunny is for the companion who brings out the most purely fond feelings in everyone who meets them — the kind of presence that reminds you why having a companion is such a gift.
