I'll bet there are some funny stories about how people named their rabbits. I'd like to hear them.
Harvey's story is kind of dumb.
We requested a male from the breeder. Once they sexed the babies, they set aside the male fawn for us, and called wanting to know his name. They needed it for his pedigree. I had planned on waiting to see the little guys personality, and naming him based on that, but the pedigree paperwork couldn't wait so I had to think of a name on the spot with no warning, and the first name to pop into my head was Harvey, from the old Jimmy Stewart movie. I figured we would change his name later. But "Harvey" just stuck. Later, when we took him to the vet to be neutered, the vet had a surprise for us. Harvey was a doe. But the name Harvey still stuck.
