When I wanted to get Nelson, I had trouble coming up with names. In my opinion, I think that rabbits should have somewhat nerdy names, or at least older names, but I still couldn't find anything that fit. And by dad was reading a book by someone who had the first or last name of Nelson, I don't remember. Something tells me it was something along the lines of Daniel Nelson or Nelson Daniels. Anyway, I hate the name Nelson, but as soon as I read it, I had a eureka moment and that was his name.
Big One and Little One have their names cause they were babies and I didn't know if they were boys or girls and I didn't want to have to change it later. When I teamed up with a resuce to put them on petfinder, however, they insisted that they have "people names". My first thought was Laverne and Shirely, but I didn't want to do that, even though I love both of those names for rabbits. Instead, they are Shirley and Marlene.
